>>524182913This isn't ww1, what's the point of battleships?
>>524182913>silly weapon mounts jutting into the helo hanger>no weatherdeck>main 2 exhaust stack has a radar island on it>no RSO shack>no port or starboard sliding padeyes
>>524182959Sink as much as chink ships as possible
>>524183010But they use ICBM'S and massive drone waves
>>524182959>what's the point of battleships?Making money.
>>524182913>Trump classHe's such a gaudy nigger.
>>524182989Yeah, but it's got friggin lasers.
>>524182959It's a "guided-missile battleship" so just an oversized missile cruiser, really.
>>524182913
>>524183265I see
>>524182959Easier for you to sink them
>>524183010The age of battleships ended with WW2. The Japs and the Germans both learned this the hard way. Dumping extreme amounts of resources into a massive battleship. Japs with their Yamato, only for it to be a massive waste of money due to constantly being hit by torpedoes and bombs, or the Germans with their Bismark, which did nothing and was used as a parade piece to show off the might of their army, which they then lost.
>>524182913nice, i like the bball court on deck
>>524182913the US has become a joke
Why's there a basketball court on the ship? Americans really do love niggers don't they
>>524183359It's a big missile truck so it won't actually get used like battleships were. Supposedly it will have a railgun too, but it's not the main weapon.All the articles say it will be nuclear armed but I haven't seen anything about the power plant. I'm curious as to whether or not it's going to be nuclear powered.If it is nuclear powered, I could imagine it being the center of a strike group in place of a carrier. Not that it would replace all carriers.
>>524182959Trump's IQ is low, so he just thinks a big ship is strong.
>>524183359Trump class will be an oversized missile cruiser. Not an old fashioned battleship with gun turrets.
>>524183359Shut up nigger with your reddit talk, the future of warfare is taken from vidya and T3 Battleships win the game in supreme commander forged alliance. Shit can shoot down missiles, but you are not knocking down naval gun artillery fire. Everyone pussied out with carriers and saw no one else was pursuing battleships, but they are still King of the Sea. Like Australia will find out the hard way by abandoning tanks, deterrence to kamikaze drones will be developed. All this talk of age of Battleships and age of Tanks is over comes from a lack of air superiority. Drone intercepters and air superiority for battleships will solve a lot of issues.
>>524184077Battleship is too big. For the cost of making 1 battleship (in steel and other raw materials) you could make 2 or 3 cruisers.The problem with tanks, is the face of warfare has changed, and old fuddy-duddies at the top of our militaries didn't realize it until it was too late. Tanks shouldn't be abandoned, but with the advances in guided technology they won't hold the same place they used to hold.
>>524182913The USN just recently cancelled the new FFX frigate after years late and billions of dollars and they only managed to build part of the hull and realized the design was unfeasible and already obsolete.This will never get off the drawing board.
>>524183359oh you know nothings, all it takes is a expandable force field and it can go anywhere it wants.. same coverage for tanks. - think old school war of the world invader machines.... like that.
>>524182989some jeet put that pic together that is in no way a end product morons.
>>524182913Modern warfare has not started, everyone is dealing with piece meal peace time fragmented forces and playing chess or rock paper scissors with them. The time spending $100 million to $1 billion on units is going to end soon. The war economy and unlimited manpower will shape the battlefield. They will say my scissors defeats paper but there will be a stack of paper and it will crush the scissors.
this.......... park a solar warden over a planet and commence bomardment
>>524182913It looks like a destroyer or maybe a small cruiser.
either american electronic countermeasures is a lot better than anyone can even begin to imagine or an Arleigh Burke could singlehandedly overwhelm it
Whats the difference between a heavy cruiser, battlecruiser and a battleship?
>>524184207It’s always been the case where a cheap anti-tank shell or land mine could destroy a tank. People need to accept tank losses and accept you need to mass produce a tonne of them. The platform is not the issue, it’s private defence contractors making them too expensive. A skinny conscript isn’t going to be able to push through a fortified frontline, he won’t shock the enemy and make them run for their lives. A tank will have many enemies because it controls large areas of the battlefield effectively. Just need to evolve like always have. And being big also works in battleship favour, can mount more C-Rams on it lmao. This one battleship can also take out 3 cruisers easily.
>>524182959To stroke the ego of narcissistic manchild in white house.
The trend toward larger modern warships is actually widespread. China's Type 055A destroyer is nearly cruiser-sized, and Japan's next-generation Aegis System Equipped Vessel is also large (though mainly for BMD; the lead ship is likely to be named Mutsu).
>>524182959More money that Trump can siphon into his bank account.
>>524184990quiet piggy
>>524184851Heavy cruiser is faster but has less armour and firepower than battleshipBattleship has more firepower and armour but is slower than heavy cruiserBattlecruiser is an attempt at a mix of a battleship and a heavy cruiser.
>>524182913>woman takes a selfie>instantly called a narcissist>man names a class of battleship after himself >nothing Why is that?
>>524182913"Our drones will blot out the sun!"
>>524182913This administration just keeps getting more embarrassing
>>524185540They canceled DDG(X) for this.
>>524184077You lost tranny. You'll die by a drone firing a slug through your brain from 2km away
>>524182913Looks like cheap model kit. Would rather paint resin kits of anime figures. Sad!
>>524182959>what's the point of battleships?There isnt. Trump and his administration are just genuinely retarded.
>>524182959Battleships might make a resurgence with new weaponry. Smaller frigates can run multiple massive nuclear reactors that would required for things like laser weaponry that we are looking at. Also coil/rail guns take an enormous amount of power as well.
>>524186435it's another scam. this ship will never exist beyond this AI generated image.
>>524182989K>>524182913I haven't showered or brushed my teeth in 3 days!!!! I keep smelling my butthole (funky! Butt sweet!) And opening up my armputs like a neku bird and licking jus a lil. Stinkyyyy stinkkkyyyy ughhh i bet i smell so good to that lucky gal.
>>524182913is he gonna put his face on the ship wtf? she looks nice tho. boats are cool and patrician.
>>524182913Why does it look like a 1980s Monogram box
>>524182913HahahahahahaThats most nuggerish thing you can ever madeHahahahahaha
>nonwhites>where's the ramp??
>>524185118Aww her fee fees are hurt lulz
>>524185376How did it go again for the Spartans in 300? Enjoy your, "honor" and "pride" (it isn't those things, it's dying for jews)
>>524183876>Supposedly it will have a railgun tooGood to see the navy didn't learn its lesson with the zumwalt >>524184403Oh excuse me, the official first look at a new state of the art pride of the US Navy is a slapdash doodle, don't I have egg on MY face.
>>524186447Plus you save money on rescue vehicles/equipment since there will be no survivors when they get hit with cheap drones and explode marvellously. lulZ
>>524185323Trump has been called a narcissist ad nauseum, it's like bitching that the sun is hot at this point.
>>524186447nigger you don't even have hypersonic rockets and you think you are in starwars
>>524186489It might actually get built. Biggest news is it didn’t go to a defence industry owned shipyard. Koreans actually know how to build ships and lots of them.
>>524182913>basketball court for nigs leisurebased
>>524187464We are in Star Wars now, shits just takes an enormous amount of power so a reactor for each turret would be a lot easier on a large platform.
>>524187810Any suggestions for alternate ways to recruit niggers?
>>524186447>speculative technologyI'm so tired of this horseshit. Are these ships going to have full self-driving, too? Will they be AI-powered and carbon-neutral? Kill yourself
>>524182913pedo pontoon
>>524186613Thank you for your service!
>>524188490free crab legs
>>524186426you stick weiners in your assh le youre the one that is sad weiner ass fag
obligatory
>>524188562But we are developing these kinds of things, they are just bulky and power hungry right now so chemical powered is still king. The navy and Air Force have been running tests for decades as in the long run it’s nicer cost wise by shooting energy.
>>524182913If Battleship, why Destroyer shaped?
>>524182989>hanger
>>524182913why does this tard put his name on everything, he will be long gone by the time this developed and they will just remove his name from everything
>>524182913Based and trad 16 inch guns and a catapult for bi-planes.
Our human civilization has a psychosis where every nation wants to be the only rooster in the yard for Sydney Sweeneys pussy and is at each others throat for her nether regions.That is it.It just about scarcity of pussy.Of beautiful men and women and their unconditional love, labor, companionship and sex.We do not have that as readily available artificial man-made product like cars and HVAC so all nations become psychotic and call each other cucks and declare themselves BULLS and the "leaders" brag constantly with 95.000 thousand photos that they were definitely on Epsteins Island with all the pussy.
>>524188975I don't know how people can live through twelve years of Elon Musk lying about speculative technology - watch him get rich without delivering anything - and still have any faith in this horseshit. DARPA has been seriously pursuing energy weapons since at least Nixon. And you had much more serious people in charge back then. If you're excited by the trannies and nepo-babies in DoD today then I don't know what to tell you.
BONE SPURS
>>524184956Western military is too risk averse to make a bunch of tanks on the cheap, put some dudes in it and just accept that half of them won't make it back. They overbuild the tanks with tons of defensive measures because they can't withstand loss.
>>524182913it is based, though in reality, it's a guided missile cruiser.
>>524182959Basically it's shorthand for a very big and very capable capital ship.Yes, we can get super autistic about the nomenclature but this was the role that the last generation of battleships evolved into, so in reply to people who talk about Line Of Battle Ships, I present the Torpedo Boat Destroyer that is today the size of a treaty era Cruiser with all the capabilities you can think of, I'm honestly puzzled that Destroyer nomenclature has become so dominant when one would think Cruiser carried more prestige, but here we are.Naval warfare is weird in that sense, why the Russians insist on calling the Kirov large missile Cruisers instead of owning the term Battlecruiser or maybe Missile Battlecruiser to really get everyone's dick hard kind of baffles me, if I was in charge of our anemic navy, I'd want to slap every rowboat with an outboard engine the most prestigious term possible, like auxiliary frigates or something and anything above a 1000 tonnes a Cruiser.
>>524182913Looks like they made that image in 30 seconds with ai lol this administration is a clown show.
>>524193538Is his space force still 4 trannies and a desk?
What will happen:>the DoD will spend a billion or so on a Trump-friendly shipyard/defence contractor>Trump will make money by insider trading on the company, or they'll just donate to him/buy some of his shitcoin>no ship will be built>the whole program will be cancelled in 2029It's a grift, guys.
>>524182913the best part>fucking massive>gonna carry 140 nukes
>>524183939140 nukes sent to the bottom of the ocean by a Temu copy of the Seababy.Then China proceeds to recover those nukes with the Glomar Explorer 2.0.A perfect prelude to the American century of humiliation
>>524185045I would ovesaturate that shit with Shahed drones and it's gone
>>524185323>>524187406Exactly this. The point of bullying/bitching about things is to hopefully stimulate a change in behavior, to get them to comply with society’s expectations. There is literally no point in trying to change Trump himself, however one can change his opinion/plans quite easily by simply providing him with information, no matter how based in “alternative facts” it may be, or by providing him a distraction by making a big deal over some little non-problem.
>>524193713This can be said of basically every DoD/military industrial complex(via “commercial” agencies, supposedly COTS but actually designed with military objectives in mind) project that I’ve seen announced in the last 5 years, especially since our initial pivot towards “AI” CCA capabilities. Each website is far over designed, a collection of buzzwords and lofty phrases that mean nothing, usually with its own special memecoin as an “investment strategy” for consumer engagement. Lmao.
>>524182913neat finally something to compare to the Kirov. i approve.
Do these come with their own golden domes
>>524182989>just put a fucking helipad on the back to get soaked in any slight windWhat's more likely is that someone in the Navy got tired of Trump's retardation >I wanna the BIGGEST ship ever and WITH MY NAME ON ITand tasked some intern to make up some AI slop to keep him occupied, no way this abomination will be made, he'll be gone in 3 years and they just need to wait him out
>>524194131>just overloads all the frequencies.Wha why aren't my drones working anymore huh? i heard on youtube these where op. or something.midwittery in regards to warfare has been a disaster.
>>524182913looks like it was drawn by a 5th grader.
Does this mean that Trump will appear as a character in that gacha game where the battleships are anime girls?
>>524192595Best post itt
Is he trying to make money selling model kits of fanfic military equipment now? Cause that looks like the box-art of something like that. Also: I have not forgotten about the Epstein Files Trump is withholding
>>524182913>name ship class after yourselfwtf.not even the Führer was that cringe
>>524185323>>524194224>>524187406not to mention, it is called the trump class but the first boat is named defiant.the the lead ship of a class is usually named after the class itself.this wont be built anyway. or at the very best will be limited to 2 boats. and the rest will be cancelled. and they are claiming to build this in 2 years.for reference the ford aircraft carrier had its steel cut in 2005. it took more than 17 years until it was actually commissioned into service.to even suggest that this new class of boats with experimental systems on board will be finished in 2 years is utterly ridiculous.
Can’t wait to see the USS Roy Cohn cruising the waves
>>524182913No one wastes money like the military. Truly impressively stupid.
>>524182913kekwhere is he going to build themI think there are 2 yards capable and they are both way behind on projects
>>524182913Kind of cool, kind of dumb. A semi-submersible arsenal ship would do a better job without being a huge target.
>>524182959nuke the west coast when they inevitably get subdroned in port and seb screams IDS ANNUDAH PERL HARBOR
>>524196881USS Nimitz-Keel laid 1968; completed 1972; delivered/ “in service” 1975- remaining 9 ships delivered by 2009.USS Ford-2005(ceremonial steel cutting), began construction in earnest 2007, hull laid down 2009; completed 2013, commissioned 2017(sea trials etc between the two). Next in its class laid down 2015; launched 2019- won’t be commissioned until 2027. The one after that was supposedly laid down 2022, to be launched Nov 2025(how’d that go I wonder?) and hopefully commissioned by 2029.
>>524183071we can just drop a jew on their ships, instant calamity
>>524192595Naval nomenclature is a constant battle of autism.
>>524196881>for reference the ford aircraft carrier had its steel cut in 2005. it took more than 17 years until it was actually commissioned into service.no shit, the US is (like everywhere not Korea/Japan/China) a footnote when it comes to shipping. can't build 'em, can't arm 'em, can't sink 'em.
>>524197675>no shit, the US is (like everywhere not Korea/Japan/China) a footnote when it comes to shipping. can't build 'em, can't arm 'em, can't sink 'em.
>>524197528yea the lead class of any boat takes longer to build, test, and tune compared to the latter boats of the class.to even suggest that this new boat with experimental systems on board will be done in 2 years is utterly ridiculous.it is nothing but a political poster.and to show this off at mar a lago of all places instead of the white house or in virginia or even the pentagon is a huge red flag in of itself. it is bad optics all the way around.
>>524182913>Baseddumb and a waste of money
>>524187243Japan has since worked out the kinks with railguns, supposedly.
>>524198985
>>524182959he's about to start the next world war and preparing for it. Unfortunately we have retards in charge of the military now so we are wasting tax payer money on stupid shit like battle ships. Gonna be funny when everyone acts surprised when these things are worthless and everyone on board gets killed.
>>524182959More big, more better
>>524200329the only supposed counter to hypersonic projectiles(in theory only) is a star wars tier laser meme weapon system that cannot even penetrate clouds. >picrelated.the age of the capital ship is over. they are all on borrowed time. small disposable and preferably unmanned vessels that are numerous and spread out is the way to go. a capital ship is too valuable of a target.the submarine is the lord of all seas for the foreseeable future.
>>524182913That is one pretty shitty artwork, they used AI in the last minute?
>>524183010chinks have hypersonic missiles now
>>524182913That shit is no battleship. There's no armor or large guns. It's an enlarged Ticonderoga with lines from the planned DDG(X), using fantasy weapons the US Navy (and other those of other nations) stopped development on because they did not work, demanded by a man with an ego to rival that of Kim Jong Un. Not one keel will be laid because the next President will cancel it the first day in office.
>>524188860Imagine how it would feel to be Army private fuck-fuck inexplicably in command of an aircraft carrierImagine how he feels knowing the weight of the situation now falling apart on his shouldersI want this to be a movie, I would watch this movie
>>524201411Also, how sideways would shit have to go for this to actually happen
>>524182913I bet a fleet of low cost drones could f it up without much issue. Just Trojan horse a cargo ship. Our military leaders are ill prepared for a truly modern war. Bunch and dinosaurs.
