The USS Iowa fires a full broadside. Photo credit: U.S. Navy *Dr. Robert Farley, FoxTrot Alpha*: *What A 21st Century Battleship Could Look Like* President Donald Trump seems to like big, “bold” ideas. Throw nukes around? Sure. Rip up the deck of an aircraft carrier to install the “goddamned steam?” Okay, fine. But what if we brought back one of the biggest military statements America has ever had—what if we brought back the battleship? It’s not that the current American capital ship, the aircraft carrier, is obsolete. But the the Gerald R. Ford-class of aircraft carriers are rema... more »

Share prices of many military and intelligence contractors have risen sharply since President Donald Trump’s election.

Likewise, Kratos Defense and Security Services, a smaller firm that builds drones for the U.S. Air Force, saw its shares soar more than 75 percent between Novem... more »

That’s less than a lot of middle-class families pay. (And that’s less than half the official 35% corporate tax rate.)
