The reason we can't win the war with Iran is because Demoncraps like Bill Clinton decommissioned all our navy's battleships and neglected to construct new ones to replace them. Trump wants to rectify this problem by building the first new Battleships to be constructed since WW2. With these bad boys in our military's arsenal we would be able to blast the Iranians to smithereens and force the strait open whether Iran likes it or not.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump-class_battleship

>>545353079Are you retarded? Battleships are useless.
>>545353180>Battleships are useless.Get your house hit by a shell fired by one of their big guns and as you gaze into the smouldering crater you tell me how useless that was.
>>545353450Restrict housing supply (boom boom artillery noises) to keep house prices highI should be an economist, I'm a genius
>>545353450The intent of battleships was to sink other ships, but they were already made obsolete by submarines, planes, and then missiles from the moment they were made.Being used as artillery by the US against shit hole countries with zero navy or airforce was a makeshift duty for them. One they're now obsolete for because even shit holes armies like the Houthis can buy cheap anti-ship missiles.
>>545353180This
>>545354785>OneAnd.Also trump is a fucking senile retard desperate to slap his name on anything for a legacy, but all he'll be remembered as is a bad joke.
>IranlolAmerica already surrendered to the group.Don't worry, terms were good for delusions. You can still pretend and people will play along. Management will make sure you don't exceed any bounds.
>>545354785>obsolete because missilesIt's well known that missiles only sink battleships. No other type of ship can ever be sunk by a missile.

>>545354785>The intent of battleships was to sink other shipsNot just for that purpose. Their big guns can destroy ships, but also anything else they hit. They work great for shore bombardments to destroy enemy fortifications to make it easier for the Marines to invade. They are not obsolete in that role. We used them in the Gulf War for that very purpose.
>>545353180They'll be more like missile cruisers apparently.Trump just thinks that "battleship" sounds cooler.
>>545355518The gulf war was pre drones and missile technology was fsr younger and less prevalent. If a ship is close enough to shore to act as artillery its close enough to be hit by drones and missiles. As a concept battleships presently have no role in peer warfare.

>>545353079with what shipyardswith what materialswith what brainpower to put it together so when they launch it from the yard it doesn't immediately capsize and sink
>>545353079The 2000s designs are trash, including this one. Goddammit I wish these fuckers would hire me for shipbuilding architecture, they scrapped the DDX for good reason and this uses the same tech, so this will never even have its keel laid. Future wars will be fought in swift fashion, you hit hard and overwhelm defense arrays completely, you target their nation's capital and don't stop until it's rubble. Refit container ships with hundreds of VLS and rape them, you don't even give them an opportunity to launch a drone offensive you just rip their capital to shreds in minutes, shit maybe I'll just become a pirate.
>>545353079I'm not really an expert on the types of ships but most people would think "BIG GUNS" for a "Battleship".Just from this pic what I see is "little guns" and at least 3 missile bays / silos. That would technically be a "guided missile destroyer" which the navy has a lot of already.I guess it's just a matter of size between "battleship" and "destroyer" (or "frigate").
>>545356719I think she's supposed to have a pair of 5" guns and a railgun? 5" is basically destroyer caliber. 6" armour, also pretty thin by battleship standards. 35,000 tons is battleship weight for WW2 (a little smaller than average), but considering everything got so much bigger since then, that's more like cruiser size. So yeah, cruiser.Traditionally, battleships have been similar/bigger than aircraft carriers. A true modern battleship would probably be more like 130,000 tons, assuming the same sort of size creep as carriers.
>>545353450sorry, a kinzhal hypersonic missile travelling at mach 10 obliterated your gay little battleship long before it got close enough to use its gay little guns
>>545356956although in a surface gunfight, modern ships don't have massive guns either, so 6" armour is actually pretty generous.
>>545356979>sorry, a kinzhal hypersonic missile travelling at mach 10 obliterated your gay little battleship long before it got close enough to use its gay little gunsIran doesn't have those. The only country which does is Russia, but they're a land empire. We wouldn't be using ships against Russia if it ever came down to it (heaven forbid).
>>545357173>Iran doesn't have those.yeah and america doesn't have any trump class battleships. so there you go
>>545355636You could use one as a platform from which to launch drones and missiles stored in its not inconsiderable hold. Checkmate dumdum.
>>545357281Well you're the idiot who mentioned the Kinzhal hitting a battleship that doesn't exist. So are you retarded?
