On December 22, 2025, President Donald J. Trump announced a sweeping naval expansion from Mar-a-Lago, introducing the ambitious “Golden Fleet” initiative. Standing alongside Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Secretary of the Navy John Phelan, the President revealed plans for a new generation of Trump-class battleships, massive 30,000–40,000-ton surface combatants designed to redefine American sea power. The lead vessel, USS Defiant (BBG-1), is expected to be operational within two and a half years, with approval granted for two ships initially and a long-term goal of building up to 25. These ships are described as dramatically more powerful than historic battleships like the Iowa or Missouri, featuring nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missiles, advanced command-and-control capabilities, and the largest naval guns of the modern era. The announcement also marked the formal return of the title “Department of War,” following a September 2025 executive order, with Pete Hegseth officially serving as Secretary of War. #GoldenFleet #TrumpClassBattleship #USNavyExpansion #DepartmentOfWar #USSDefiant #TrumpAnnouncement #NavalPower #USMilitary #PentagonRebrand #NuclearDeterrence #SeaPower #DefenseNews #MarALago #MilitaryStrategy #GlobalSecurity ------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Amaravati Today, AT World News channel and tap the bell icon to receive notifications whenever we go live https://www.youtube.com/@atnewsroom #atworldnews #atworld #AmaravatiToday Source/Courtesy: White House, USA
