President Donald Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth are making an announcement alongside Navy Secretary John Phelan.
The announcement is set to begin at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time and is expected to disclose details of the so-called Golden Fleet, a revamp of the U.S. Navy, which was announced last week.

A report from the Wall Street Journal claimed the biggest announcement will be the reveal of a new class of “battleships,” after the last were retired in the 1990s, bearing Trump’s name. The ships are said to be an upgrade of the U.S.’s Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, the workhorses of the Navy, with a next-generation design.
