Trump-class battleship faces cost, relevance, and political hurdles

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
The Trump-class battleship program faces significant challenges, with projected costs reaching $700 billion and each ship costing $46.6 billion. Analysts express concerns over the ships' combat relevance due to potential vulnerabilities against advanced Chinese missiles and stealth aircraft. Additionally, political support is uncertain, with a lack of congressional champions and possible intensified opposition if Democrats gain control in future elections.
