Is today's Qiangmei still understanding North Korea? The 'Trump' class missile battleship

On December 22 local time, U.S. President Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, announcing that the U.S. Navy will build a missile battleship named after him, and that the 'Trump' class will be the core of the U.S. Navy's 'Golden Fleet' plan. U.S. Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Navy Secretary John Ferlan also attended the conference. The 'Trump' class has pioneered the new type of ship known as the 'missile battleship' (BBG), marking the return of this type of battleship to U.S. Navy planning for the first time since World War II. During his speech, Trump stood in front of posters showing the renderings of the 'Trump' class, stating that these warships will be built domestically, creating 'thousands' of jobs, and will be the fastest, largest, and most powerful new type of warship, exceeding the firepower of any previous warship by 100 times. The BBC commented that this press conference is a milestone event in Trump's planned 'U.S. Navy expansion' project ('Golden Fleet'), signaling that even in the face of a narrowing gap in naval vessels and shipbuilding capabilities lagging behind its main potential maritime competitors, the U.S. will not give up measures to ensure its dominant position.

Trump personally named the first ship 'Defiant' (USS Defiant, BBG-1), a name not previously used by the U.S. Navy for combat vessels. In English, this is a slightly derogatory term, describing a challenging, rebellious, or defiant attitude, whereas 'Intrepid' is a typical positive term. It is reported that Trump is very fond of this word, believing it fits his personality very well. Last year, when Trump was attacked, pro-Republican media described him as 'A bloodied, defiant Trump...'.

From the data currently revealed, the 'Trump' class has a length of 256-268 meters and a displacement of over 35,000 tons. It will surpass the Russian 'Kirov' class, becoming the largest surface combat vessel in the world excluding aircraft carriers. In terms of armament, the 'Trump' class will include everything currently in the U.S. Navy, and even those that are just dreams, featuring: a 32-megajoule electromagnetic cannon at the bow, with a caliber possibly between 305mm (12 inches) and 406mm (16.5 inches); a 12-cell large-diameter vertical launch system, loaded with CPS hypersonic missiles; two MK.45 type 127mm naval guns; two groups of 128-cell MK-41 vertical launch systems at the front and rear of the island; two anti-drone weapon systems; two 300 kW laser cannons; and two MK.38 type 30mm 'Big Viper' machine guns.

In terms of electronic equipment, the front and rear islands each have two dual-band AN/SPY-6(V1) phased array radars installed, and there is also an AN/SPQ-9B radar for countering blind spots at the top of the front island's mast, while still retaining three AN/SPG-62 continuous wave radar systems to provide terminal target illumination for semi-active air defense missiles such as the 'Standard'-2MR/ER and ESSM Block 1. Additionally, it is equipped with the 'Big Ear Burke' SEWIP Block 3 electronic warfare system. Overall, it is easy for us to understand the design process of the 'Trump' class missile battleship: you are a public affairs officer responsible for the graphic design of documents in the Pentagon office. Now, your president is standing behind you, pointing at your computer's 3ds Max (educational version) page, exhausting all the military terms he knows about warship equipment, and pointing at an imagined drawing of a missile battleship that he searched for who knows where (with a small line of Chinese characters: 'Huaqing'), spewing all the high-frequency vocabulary he can hear from Fox News or military clips, asking you to draw this way, and requiring it to be reasonable and convincing.

You are in a difficult position and turn to seek help from the Navy Secretary, who is constantly urging you with his lips and has eyes full of 'do as he says; I still want to keep the budget.' Helplessly, you can only exhaust all the knowledge you have accumulated in your three years of service in the U.S. Navy and start this absurd 'stitching.' In the end, on the huge door of the hangar at the stern, you accidentally drew a gilded 'MAGA' gesture emblem of the president, and finally pressed the render button. This 'super battleship,' which embodies the arrogance of the 20th century and the anxiety of the 21st century, leaped onto the screen, and the president patted your shoulder, bursting into hearty laughter.
