Trump-class battleship
Proposed American battleship class
Summary
The Trump-class battleship is a proposed nuclear powered guided-missile warship for the United States Navy, announced by U.S. president Donald Trump in December 2025. The class is also known as BBG(X) or BBGN in Navy documents, and is intended to initially consist of the lead ship USS Defiant (BBG-1) and an as-yet unnamed other vessel. The class is envisioned as adding a nuclear-capable cruise missile option to the U.S. Navy surface fleet, along with the non-nuclear Conventional Prompt Strike hypersonic attack missile, as offensive weapons.
