A report released by the US Congressional Budget Office on the 5th estimates that the Navy's new nuclear-powered “golden fleet” requested by US President Trump may need to spend about 275 billion US dollars over the next few decades. Among them, the estimated cost of the first “Trump class” battleship “Dreadnought” was at least 50% higher than before. Trump announced in December 2025 that the US military will build a “golden fleet”. The first two battleships will be built, and 8 more will soon be built. Eventually, there will be 20 to 25 new types of battleships. With a displacement of 30,000 to 40,000 tons, these battleships are equipped with hypersonic weapons, rail guns, cruise missiles, and laser weapons, and will become the flagship of the US Navy fleet. The Congressional Budget Office's report on the 5th said that according to the budget initially submitted to Congress by the US Navy, the first ship “Dreadnought” was calculated in 2026 US dollars, and the average cost of the second and third battleships was 10.2 billion US dollars.
