U.S. media: Trump plans to create a new next-generation "golden fleet" possibly equipped with hypersonic missiles.

On October 25, Jin10 reported that current and former U.S. Navy officials stated that the White House and Navy senior officials are in preliminary discussions to plan a complete replacement of the current fleet with a brand new “Golden Fleet.” Trump is personally involved in this plan. Navy officials have named this project the “Golden Fleet,” continuing Trump’s other similarly named initiatives, such as the “Golden Dome” missile defense system and the “Gold Card” immigration program. The new fleet will include several large warships equipped with more powerful long-range missiles, as well as smaller vessels like frigates. The next generation of warships may weigh between 15,000 to 20,000 tons, capable of carrying more and more powerful weapons, and may even include hypersonic missiles. According to the “Golden Fleet” concept, the Navy hopes to focus on building a fleet of about 280 to 300 manned vessels, supplemented by a large number of unmanned vessels to fill the gaps, rather than targeting a specific number of ships.
