A Congressional Budget Office report estimates the Trump-class battleship program will cost $275 billion, with the first ship priced at $23.4 billion and subsequent units at $18 billion each. The program would produce 15 nuclear-powered battleships by 2056, the largest surface combatants since World War II, but faces challenges including increased shipyard tonnage demands and industry delays highlighted by the Government Accountability Office.
