Trump Pushes 355-Ship Navy With $306B Build Plan

The U.S. Navy proposes a 355-ship fleet through a 30-year shipbuilding plan. Shipbuilding spending will rise to $306 billion, with 50% of future production at distributed sites outside legacy shipyards. Aircraft carriers, submarines, and frigates will be prioritized, supported by unmanned sea drones. The plan cites a 10% to 50% increase in production rates using AI scheduling tools and workforce training.
