US President Donald Trump Announces 'Golden Fleet' With New Battleships 100 Times More Powerful

US President Donald Trump has announced the creation of a "Golden Fleet" for the US Navy, featuring a new class of battleships. Speaking at Mar-a-Lago, Trump stated, 'We're calling it the Golden Fleet... It's 100 times more powerful than the previous Iowa class.' The new "Trump-class" ships, led by the USS Defiant, are expected to weigh 30,000 to 40,000 tons and feature directed-energy lasers.
