U.S. Navy Studies Redesign of Future Aircraft Carriers at Trump’s Request
According to Jin10, the U.S. Navy is considering redesigning aircraft carriers it plans to build to better match U.S. President Donald Trump’s aesthetic preferences. The Navy is weighing changes to Ford-class carriers to make the new ships look more like World War II-era vessels, and the potential modifications could cost billions of dollars and worsen already existing schedule delays.
