General Discussion

Trump's new battleship will be a slow (30-35 knots) lumbering beast that would represent an easy kill for any sophisticated military like Russia, or China, and even a forward thinking country with a much smaller military.
Aircraft carriers are not much better.
We look good when we're fighting a war against small, relatively primitive military forces, but if Iran's missile program was a little bit further along, that may have been able to launch deadly attacks against any of our surface ships in the region.
It's becoming evident that the world of warfare has transformed over the past decade into something that makes any and all stationary, or slow moving, targets vulnerable. Weapons that cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars can destroy a billion dollar target; overwhelming it's defenses by sending large numbers of drones or missiles at once.
Land targets fare no better.
Russia has learned in Ukraine that using decades old technology against an adversary can be beaten back by these new technologies.
We are now seeing the same thing with Iran.
The question I have is, what good would it be to have a battleship named after Trump? It would still be a loser, just like it's namesake.
