Lezer to make shipbuilding announcement

Monday, December 22, 2025

President Donald Trump is expected to make an announcement about shipbuilding alongside his Pentagon chief and Navy secretary on Monday, according to a person familiar with the plans. The announcement, set for 4:30 p.m. ET from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, comes amid a massive US naval buildup in the Caribbean Sea.

The Navy on Friday announced it would commission a new class of frigates, built in the United States, as part of the new "Golden Fleet," which Trump envisions as a more advanced collection of ships meant to better counter China. Frigates are designed to protect sea lanes and protect larger vessels.

"President Donald Trump is set to announce a new type of battleship Monday that he has considered calling the "Trump class," a person familiar with the matter said, as he works to update a US Naval fleet he's said before is unattractive and rusty."

LOL.

If they named a Class of ships after Drumpf, it should be called the, "No Class" of ships.

Donald J. Trump, Impressario

Has there been anyone in history that was more of an egomaniac than Lewzer? He seems to have no limit.
