The US Navy is planning to build a new class of battleships, referred to as the "Trump Class", with reports suggesting they will be nuclear-powered and potentially armed with hypersonics. The number of ships to be built is confirmed to be 15, with the goal of completing the purchases by 2055, and the cost of the first ship is said to be over $17 billion. The design details of the new battleships are still under review, with some aspects, such as the carrier design, not yet finalized.
