Washington D.C. – In a press conference held with the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Navy in Florida, US President Donald Trump announced plans to build a new class of warships that will be 80 times more powerful than the existing Iowa-class ships. The new ships will be made of steel instead of aluminum, which will make them more durable and efficient.
According to Trump, the new warships, named “Victory,” will be instrumental in maintaining the country’s military strength and will also help revive the US shipbuilding industry. The President claimed that the US is 15 years ahead of any other country in terms of submarine technology, and that the new warships will be able to counter any threat from China or Russia.
Trump also praised the military’s efforts to strengthen the country’s defenses, saying that the new warships will be a game-changer for the US Navy. He added that the US is committed to maintaining its position as the world’s greatest military power.
The press conference was attended by Secretary of Defense Pat Shanahan and Secretary of the Navy John F. Kelly, who also spoke about the new warship plans. The US Navy plans to build 15 new submarines, and the new warships will be designed to be more versatile and efficient than their predecessors.
