Proposed US Trump-class nuclear battleship with railgun and 300kW laser suite

The article describes the planned Trump-class nuclear-powered battleship concept featuring very large VLS arrays for conventional/nuclear (including hypersonic) missiles plus an electromagnetic railgun and a planned ~300kW-class laser—capabilities not yet fielded together on a US surface combatant. Congressional language tying construction to weapon-system technology readiness highlights that these subsystems (especially railgun and high-power laser) are being positioned for near-term integration, indicating a notable push toward new naval strike and air-defense architectures.
