US Navy plans nuclear-powered Trump-class guided-missile battleships (BBGN)

The post describes a planned shift to nuclear propulsion for the future Trump-class large surface combatants, reviving nuclear-powered surface combatants and enabling effectively unlimited range plus much higher onboard electrical power. That added power is framed as supporting high-energy weapons (lasers), railguns, and expanded electronic-warfare capability, indicating a notable change in intended naval combat capability and ship design tradeoffs.
