Trump's focus on history delays carrier projects
The Washington Post reports that the U.S. Navy is considering modifying the design of the Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier based on President Donald Trump's aesthetic preferences, aiming to make it resemble the vintage warship designs from World War II. The proposed modification involves moving the superstructure to the center to emulate classic designs, which could cost billions of dollars and cause delays in procurement programs. There is also skepticism and resistance from military experts and the media regarding potential impacts on performance and efficiency. This move has sparked widespread debate within military and political circles about the costs of these modifications and their effect on the U.S. Navy's readiness to face international challenges.
