"The House Armed Services Committee is concerned that the 'Trump-class' battleship program will strain US shipyards. There are fears that the new battleship construction will delay the production of Virginia-class submarines needed for the AUKUS pact. The committee requested a report from the Navy on how to build the battleships without interfering with existing nuclear-powered shipbuilding plans. The Navy plans to acquire 15 'Trump-class' battleships by 2055, with the first delivery expected in 2036."

It explains why traditional large-scale platforms like battleships may clash with the strategic requirements of modern deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, directly addressing the tension between legacy naval ambitions and the AUKUS mission.
