No, they won't be cutting-edge or the most lethal surface warfare ships. Because they're battleships, and battleships are obsolete technology. Which is why we haven't built any in decades. Which is why no one is building any.

This is certainly true of the historical battleships which were massively armored behemoths, boasting turrets with 20 inch guns. Such huge guns were made obsolete by guided missiles, and hard to maneuver armored ships were made obsolete by aircraft dropping bombs.

But the concept pictures of the new ships Trump revealed showed what looked more like a conventional guided missile destroyer.

Trump no doubt loves the name "Battleship" since it sounds so manly.
