The US Navy's new-generation “Trump” class battleship, which has received much attention from the Trump administration, is scheduled to begin construction in fiscal year 2028. However, the US Naval Society website revealed on the 22nd that related preparations have reached an impasse due to the failure of the US Congress to pass funding in a timely manner, which can be called a “bad start.” The report said that the “FY2027 Defense Authorization Act” with a total amount of 1.5 trillion US dollars was shelved due to Senate Democrats protesting against the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran. This involved early funding for the “Trump” class battleship and the “Ford” class aircraft carrier “William J. Clinton.” Without approval of the relevant budget, the Pentagon will not be able to begin advance procurement of nuclear power propulsion equipment, etc. needed to build these large ships.
