CBO Puts Price Tag on 1st Trump Battleship

Morning Coffee is a robust blend of links to news around the internet concerning the Naval Air Station Patuxent River economic community. The opinions expressed here do not reflect opinions of the Leader’s owners or staff.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the first Trump-class battleship could cost more than $20 billion if ordered today, reports Breaking Defense. Additional ships could cost anywhere from $9 billion to $13 billion per vessel. The estimates vary depending on the ultimate displacement — or weight — of the ship, as well as differing details of which historical US warship is used to inform the assessment.

The budget office presentation here discusses the potential costs of the Navy’s newly proposed guided missile battleship. President Donald Trump had announced in December that the US Navy would pursue a Golden Fleet, a new class of battleships to be named after him, Navy Times had reported at the time.

Navy leaders, speaking at the annual Surface Navy Association National Symposium in Arlington, VA, last week, praised the strategic opportunities of the Trump-class battleships and why the service is embracing the development, reports Navy Times. Navy CNO ADM Daryl Caudle called the new battleships “badass.” NavSec John Phelan told members of the SNA that the Navy must take risks, and the US has to prepare as if it is at war.

While the new battleships look awesome on paper, they may be exactly the wrong choice for modern naval warfare, writes David Hambline in the New York Post. A better use of shipbuilding assets would be to construct lots of low-cost, unmanned, semi-submersible platforms that could operate drone swarms launched from land, or launch land-attack missiles controlled from space, writes retired Navy admiral James Stavridis in Bloomberg. The Navy shouldn’t begin long development programs that will take years to complete, writes Mark Cancian, a retired colonel in the US Marine Corps Reserve. “Far better to upgrade existing, proven designs and ramp up their production rates. That’s the way to reach the higher production levels that President Trump cited in his speech and to expand the US presence on the world’s oceans.”

A National Review editorial after the “Golden Fleet” announcement said “it is a relief to hear a president give more than lip service to what has become a crisis for our ability to project power and do it with ships that are built to succeed in their given roles.”

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced Thursday that the Defense Department would take editorial control of independent military newspaper Stars and Stripes to refocus coverage on “warfighting” and remove “woke distractions,” reports The Hill. “We will modernize its operations, refocus its content away from woke distractions that syphon morale, and adapt it to serve a new generation of service members,” Parnell wrote in a social media post on X.

The US military will begin evaluating the body fat of troops using a waist-to-height ratio, replacing traditional height-and-weight tables as the primary measure of physical standards, reports Air Force Times. Failure to meet the standards could result in the withholding of favorable personnel actions, including promotions, according to a Pentagon memo.

Earlier this month, the Pentagon announced a formal review of the effectiveness of opening combat roles to women. Critics believe the review has been launched to show that women don’t belong in the infantry, reports Army Times, despite there being more than 4,500 female soldiers currently deployed in Army combat units. “The only reason to conduct a new study is if you want a different outcome and you’re prepared to skew whatever answers you get to achieve that outcome,” said Sue Fulton, executive director of Women in the Service Coalition. “We have every reason to believe the intent is to marginalize women because [DefSec Pete] Hegseth has said so in the past.”

LT GEN Francis Donovan, Trump’s choice to lead the US Southern Command, told lawmakers Thursday that he is ready to oversee an expanded presence that began ahead of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro’s capture. If confirmed by the Senate, Donovan will take over the command, replacing Navy ADM Alvin Holsey, who retired last year.

The US seized its sixth oil tanker linked to Venezuela, the Veronica, in the Caribbean Sea on Thursday, US Southern Command announced, reports Fox News on MSN.

As Trump keeps up his efforts to acquire Greenland from Denmark, two new polls put a spotlight on the fact that most Americans oppose taking over the island and would oppose military action to take over Greenland, reports Fox News. A CNN poll finds 94% of Democrats and eight in 10 independents said they would oppose such a move, with Republicans split 50%-50%. A Quinnipiac poll found voters, by a 55%-37% margin, opposed any US effort to try and buy Greenland.

Trump said Friday that he might punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the US controlling Greenland, reports AP News.

Congressional Republicans and Democrats are speaking out against Trump’s desire to acquire Greenland. Many believe such military action could destroy the NATO alliance, reports WMAR2 in Baltimore. Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), who is leading a bipartisan delegation to Denmark, said Trump’s rhetoric about potentially taking Greenland by force could have “disastrous consequences.”

A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that more than half of US adults, 56%, believe Trump has “gone too far” in using the US military to intervene in other countries, reports Military Times. The poll was conducted Jan. 8-11 after the capture of Maduro. The poll found that majorities disapprove of how the president is handling foreign policy in general and Venezuela in particular. About 9 in 10 Democrats and roughly 6 in 10 independents say Trump has “gone too far” on military intervention, compared with about 2 in 10 Republicans. The vast majority of Republicans, 71%, say Trump’s actions have been “about right.”

ADM Kevin Lunday is the new commandant of the US Coast Guard, reports Military.com. Lunday, previously the acting commandant, assumed the position on Thursday morning. He previously served as the USCG’s 34th vice commandant from June 2024 to January 2025.

Cmdr. Jacob King assumed command of the US Naval Test Pilot School during a ceremony at NAS Patuxent River on Jan. 8, reports The Southern Maryland Chronicle.

The Naval Air Systems Command announced that the Navy completed a second successful demonstration of the BQM-177A subsonic aerial target equipped with Shield AI’s Hivemind software, reports USNI News. The test was conducted in December at Point Mugu Sea Range in California, is part of the service’s work toward the future fielding of Collaborative Combat Aircraft, or CCA.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has relaunched its efforts to find a new head of veterans benefits, reports Military Times. This comes after nominee Karen Brazell withdrew her name from consideration in October.

Gregory Vandenberg, 49, a former US Navy SEAL, was found guilty in a federal jury trial last week of transporting explosives with the intent to harm police at No Kings Day protests against President Donald Trump in California, reports Navy Times. The political demonstrations took place across the country on June 14.

Four astronauts landed safely back on Earth on Thursday after a medical emergency forced them to end early their mission at the International Space Station, reports Washington Examiner. NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui, and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Platonov’s SpaceX capsule splashed down in the Pacific at 3:41am Jan. 15. The landing marks the only time in the ISS’s 25 years that a mission had been cut short due to a medical emergency.
