The U.S. Navy launched its official Golden Fleet website at goldenfleet.navy.mil early on December 23, 2025, between 12:15 AM and 1:15 AM UTC, as noted in a University of Oklahoma statement shared on X by @KToropin citing a reply to @NavyStrang. The website follows President Donald Trump's announcement over the past day on December 22 of new "Golden Fleet" battleships described as the largest ever built, according to his X-posted remarks cited by @Phil_Lewis_. A concept image of "Trump Class" battleships was shared on X by @Breaking911 during previous reporting windows, crediting @KellieMeyerNews and a Wall Street Journal report. This development fulfills a White House tease from December 22 of major Navy progress, as reported by maritime journalist John Konrad. The site provides details on the initiative teased in earlier Wall Street Journal coverage by Lara Seligman.
