The president is expected to discuss bringing battleships back into the U.S. fleet. The last battleships were decommissioned in the 1990s. At Quantico Marine Base, earlier this week, President Trump said, "Some people would say that's old technology. I don't think it's old technology. Your secretary likes it, and I'm open to it. Bullets are a lot less expensive than missiles It's something we're seriously considering." The U.S. Navy is planning a celebration for its 250th anniversary later this month. The service branch will hold a weeklong celebration in Philadelphia, with a parade of ships on the Delaware River. |
