Trump wants a new armada. Can America still build one?

Last week, the Pentagon unveiled a jaw-dropping $47.3 billion
plan to supercharge its fleet with 19 brand-new battleships.
That’s right—nineteen. Up from a paltry five last year. And let’s
not kid ourselves: this isn’t just about flexing maritime muscle,
it’s a direct message to China—loud and clear.


Enter Commander Tom Sharpe, a man who’s not only been there and
done it, but practically wrote the manual. A retired Royal Navy
heavyweight who’s commanded four warships and earned an OBE for
saving HMS Endurance from a catastrophic flood, Sharpe joins us
to tear into what this seismic shift really means.


Are we gearing up for World War Sea? Has the age of battleship
brinkmanship returned? Expect sharp analysis, no-nonsense truth
bombs, and a few jaw-dropping tales from the frontlines of naval
warfare.
