BlockBeats News, August 15th: According to Politico, this month, Trump's demands on the Navy have reached a peak, putting this already heavily strained military branch at risk of further weakening. Trump's deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln has set a record, with the vessel floating at sea for nine consecutive months, leading Navy families to warn that the onboard personnel are nearing their limit.

A government report indicated that Trump's proposed "Golden Fleet" new type of battleship would cost billions of dollars more than expected. Meanwhile, experts have criticized the President's order to revive outdated technologies, a move that could completely disrupt the shipbuilding schedule. These issues are currently compounding each other, adding immense pressure on the U.S. Navy.

Moreover, the Navy has long been plagued by delays, cost overruns, and fleet downsizing, all of which could jeopardize its ability to defend the nation. A U.S. official said, "Our warships are running around in the Middle East and the Caribbean, with no end in sight. The Navy is truly being held over a fire now." (BlockBeats)
