Subject: Re: Those Trump Class "Battleships"
Good point. Given his penchant for exaggeration and renaming stuff just to aggrandize himself (like renaming Congressionally approved housing funds as "Warrior Dividends"), I should have considered that he might simply be calling it a battleship even if it isn't.

It isn’t. At about 35,000 tons it’s more like a heavy cruiser. The USS Alaska was about that tonnage and was a battle cruiser.
