The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is ready to sail again after a prolonged maintenance period. The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier was commissioned in 1977 and is the second carrier of the group. It was just given a clean bill of health after completing a Planned Incremental Availability (PIA) at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The “Ike” just finished sea trials after the PIA.

The Eisenhower underwent a comprehensive maintenance effort, and numerous engineers and technicians inspected the carrier, identifying areas for repair and modernization.

U.S. Navy officials just provided the clearest look yet at the Trump-class battleship, how much it might cost, and how quickly the controversial program could come to fruition. At separate roundtables during the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space 2026 exposition, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle and outgoing Navy Secretary John Phelan said the service sees the ship – formally designated BBG(X) – as a necessary answer to modern naval warfare, particularly amid rising competition with China and growing pressure on U.S. forces across multiple theaters.

In his new book, “Bandit: The Inside Story of an Abrams Tank Company during Desert Storm,” he delivers a grounded, human-centric account of armored warfare at his eye level.

The easiest way to misunderstand the Navy’s shipbuilding mess is to treat it as a shipyard story. That is how the issue is usually framed. Too few workers, too much complexity, too much bureaucracy, too many delays. None of that is wrong, but it is only the visible part of the problem.

The deeper problem sits upstream. The Navy’s procurement troubles reflect not just industrial strain, but a long stretch of strategic drift. If Washington cannot decide what kind of fleet it wants, shipbuilders will never deliver it on time.
