President Donald Trump wants a new armada of warships called the "Golden Fleet" to combat the threat from China, according to a report.

"Navy officials have dubbed the project Golden Fleet, following other similarly branded Trump-era initiatives, such as the Golden Dome missile defense system he ordered the military to build in January and the Gold Card immigration program."

Does Pedo 47 need this new fleet for his war on fishermen?

How many warships does it take to get a Peace Prize? And what's with the psychotic gold obsession? Does he think he's Smaug or something?

"" Revelation 13:18

This famous verse about the number 666 is actually pointing us to another figure in the bible, and that figure is King Solomon. The reason it does so is because when Solomon was older he became a type of antichrist as his heart turned away from the Lord and toward pagan gods.

King Solomon was obsessed with gold, having hundreds of shields made out of hammered gold, all of his drinking vessels made out of gold, and to directly connect the number 666 in Revelation to Solomon, we read that he received 666 talents of gold in one year."

Trump's going to need a functioning economy to build his fleet.

So...No fleet.

Two ballrooms will pay for a frigate.

A high-ranking Trumpf appointee to the USN was recently fired, which probably has something to do with this. These jingoistic pronouncements and EOs from Trumpf are all about awarding lucrative contracts to insiders, like the US Army drone deal Don Jr is making a mint from. Felon Musk is pissed that he and his cronies don't have a monopoly on all the contracts, hence his acrimony towards several members of the junta.

The next Dem should rename a lot of things in honor of Donald J Trump.

The Gulf of Pedophile Donald Trump
The Trump is a Rapist Ballroom
The Department of Education so kids don't become Nazis like Elon Musk

Put a January 6th Memorial

Put up a memorial where Donald Trump encourage his followers to murder the VP and Dems...that likes like a gallows with noose to remind people what they had up

Put up a memorial where Josh Hawley ---- his pants on January 6...that literally looks like a small pile of ----

Trump's potrait can be him and Epstein together.

Dems should show Republicans they can be just as petty or more so if they want to open this can of worms.

In the age of drones how valuable are warships anymore anyway? And I wouldn't ask people in the military who stand to get promotions to staff these new ships if they get built.

I guess they have some value against Venezuela or Somalia, but against China or Russia? Pretty useless I would think...

Seems to me if a medium sized nation sent $50 million dollars worth of drones against a $13 billion aircraft carrier, would that carrier be able to fend off them all? How about $200 million worth of drones?

Wouldn't we be fighting the next war with the last wars munitions? Now I know brand new state of the art ships would be a massive ego boost for the admirals and captains, but would it really make sense?

Carriers are still extremely valuable. Warships are as much about patrolling shipping lanes during peace time as they are a tactical weapon of war.

As the old saying goes, there are only two types of ships. Submarines, and targets.

The next president should IMMEDIATELY call in the bulldozers and take down the ballroom and get rid of the concrete in the rose garden.

Then the east wing should be rebuilt from the as-built drawings that I know exist, and the rose garden should be restored to exactly as it was when Kennedy was president.

I'm fine with the rest of it. But that stupid ballroom needs to be destroyed.

Ballwasher is a naval expert now...

Carriers are good for dick waving. Lewzer didn't get his Gaza Peace Prize so he's dragging USS Ford 6,000 miles away from the Med so he can wave his flagship dick at Venezuela.

I normally wouldn't link a YouTube video, but this is a pretty well constructed wargame of a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan. If you're interested.

AI Overview

Does the U.S. Navy Have Too Many Admirals? - The National ...
US admirals want a fleet of at least 381 manned battle force ships, and possibly over 500 total ships when including manned and unmanned vessels, to meet national security strategy requirements. The current battle force is around 299 ships, and the Navy has indicated that reaching the 381-ship goal will be challenging under the current budget outlook.
Manned ships: The Navy's 2025 plan aims for a total of 381 manned battle force ships.
Total fleet size: This includes 134 unmanned vessels, bringing the total naval platforms to 515.
Ship breakdown: A 2022 estimate included 263 manned combatants, 100 logistics and support ships, and 150 unmanned vessels, totaling around 513 ships.
Current status: The Navy's battle force has 299 ships as of July 2023, and the 381-ship goal is considered difficult to reach with the current budget.
Other estimates: Previous assessments have suggested needing 355 ships, and some think tanks have said a fleet of 462 may be needed.
