We should be able to build ships, I would think.
We can build ships.
But when you say we're going to develop an entirely new class of ships from the ground up and design them, and again, they're going to be three times the size of what we usually build, that requires changing the infrastructure that builds ships.
I mean, it would be like saying โ
We're going to build a nuclear-powered Boeing starliner that can go around the world 10 times and carry 1,000 people.
By the way, for anybody who thinks that's too far over the top, America really did think about nuclear-powered aircraft in the 50s.
We thought we could stick a nuclear reactor on anything and make it go.
So, you know, that's it's not like no one's ever thought of, you know, nuclear powered aircraft.
But but we don't have the infrastructure for it right now.
Trump used to be like one of the rare good opinions that Trump had was he was like big and nuclear, you know, deep proliferation for a while.
We'll say that word eventually.
But now we're going the other way.
It feels like we're putting we're putting the nuclear on the ships, the nuclear ships.
We're going to do the nuclear.
The one big piece of news, if you're kind of a defense nerd, I mean, mostly these Trump class ships may never get built.
And, you know, eventually a lot of people in the 703 and 202 and 301 area codes are going to get rich.
I kind of hope they do build one.
