**[US Media: Trump's Demands Put Pressure on the US Navy]** BlockBeats News, August 15, according to Politico, this month, Trump's demands on the Navy have reached a peak, putting this military branch, already under immense financial and logistical strain, at risk of further weakening. Trump's deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier has set a record, with the vessel remaining at sea for nine consecutive months. Families of sailors have warned that personnel onboard are nearing their limits. A government report pointed out that Trump's proposed "Golden Fleet" new battleships would cost tens of billions more than expected. Meanwhile, experts have criticized the president's orders to revive outdated technologies, a move that could completely disrupt the ship production schedule. These issues are currently compounding, significantly increasing the pressure on the US Navy. The Navy has long been plagued by delays in construction timelines, budget overruns, and a shrinking fleet size—all of which could jeopardize its ability to defend the nation. A US official stated: "Our ships are running ragged in the Middle East and the Caribbean, with no end in sight. The Navy is truly being roasted over the fire right now." (Jin10)
