Amid tensions with Venezuela, US President Donald Trump on Monday (December 22) announced the new Trump Class fleet for the Navy and described it as the best warship. Announcing the new series of ships from the resort in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, Trump said that these warships will help maintain American military supremacy and create fear among America’s enemies around the world.

Surrounded by pictures of Trump class warships, the US President said that he will play an active role in their design. These Trump class warships will be part of the new ‘Golden Fleet’ for the Navy.

Trump told the specialty of warship
Donald Trump said that the US Navy will work with me to lead the design of these ships, because I am a big fan of art. These new warships will be equipped with high-tech cannons, missiles, hypersonic weapons, electric rail guns, cruise missiles and will be the largest warships ever.

Warships will be built in America only
Trump said that each warship will weigh between 30,000 to 40,000 tons and will be built in America. Without giving any explanation he said that these will be completely AI controlled. Initially the Navy will build two ships of the Trump class, after which 8 more ships will be built soon.

Objection was raised on the design of American ships
Trump had earlier objected to the design of some American ships. Earlier this year, while addressing a gathering of military officers in Quantico, Trump had said that I do not like the design of some of your ships. They say oh it is stealth, but I say it is not stealth. Stealth doesn’t have to be an ugly ship.

The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on for more than three and a half years. Meanwhile, on Saturday (29 November) in the Black Sea, Ukraine’s unmanned drone targeted the Russian oil tanker Viraat. This is the same ship on which explosions took place on Friday also. CNN quoted an official of the Security Services of Ukraine (SBU) as saying that Russia’s so-called shadow fleet was targeted by drones. Ukraine has also formally taken responsibility for this attack.

Virat and crew members of another tanker ‘Cairo’ had issued an open radio distress call and informed about the drone attack. In the video recording of the call, a crew member can be heard saying, “This is Virat, need help! Drone attack mayday!” Ukraine claims that even though these ships were registered in African countries, they were part of Russia’s shadow-fleet. America and Europe have banned them. Trump’s efforts to stop the Russia-Ukraine war may once again face a setback, because for the first time a civilian ship has been attacked during the war.

“This is VIRAT. Help needed! Drone attack! Mayday!”

The crew of the tanker VIRAT reported a drone attack on an open frequency. Clearly, they weren’t referring to regular drones, but to unmanned boats.

What did Turkey’s Transport Ministry say?
Viraat, which was earlier reported to have been attacked by unmanned marine vehicles about 35 nautical miles off the Black Sea coast, was attacked again by unmanned marine vehicles this morning, Turkey’s Transport Ministry said, according to a statement posted on Twitter.

Turkey’s Transport Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu said investigators were looking for signs of an external attack. He told that an external attack means that the ship has been attacked by a mine, rocket or perhaps a drone. These are the first things that come to mind. However, despite minor damage, Virat is stable. Officials have confirmed that all crew members are safe and in good health.

Attack in the Southern Black Sea
OSINTdefender, an open source intelligence monitor operated by the Twenty crew members were evacuated safely after the initial attack on Friday. It is being told that the ship is now burning and sinking off the coast of Türkiye.

CNN quoted a Ukrainian security source as saying that Sea Baby maritime drones were involved in the attack in a coordinated SBU-Navy operation. Russia did not give any immediate reaction. According to the source, both ships have been heavily damaged and have been effectively disabled.

Not only do people travel from one country to another from the ships in the sea, but the trade is also done on a large scale through it. While the journey related to the sea has made people’s life easy, on the other hand it has also become an essential part of our history. But do you know when and where the world’s first ship was built, and how much cost was on it. Traveling by sea has been since ancient days of human civilization, and it is true that this journey started with a very big technical discovery. We all know that traders used to exchange goods by sea, but in the beginning this sea journey was not so easy. The construction of ships was part of a long and difficult process. In such a situation, let us know today when and where the first ship in the world was built and how much cost was.

When and where was the world’s first ship built?

The first vessels of the sea started with ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Fonisian. All these civilizations used boats and ships for trade and exploration by sea. Out of these, the credit for making the first ship in the sea is given to the Egyptians. The Egyptians first built long and narrow boats made of papirus. These boats were run with slippers and were mainly used for trade near the sea. Egyptian sea passengers traded with other countries in the Mediterinian Sea through their ships.

How much was it cost?

When the Egyptians first started construction of water -running boats, it is difficult to calculate the cost of ships at that time. Nevertheless, it can be said that at that time the cost of papirus wood and slippers boats must have been much lower than today’s ships. However, these boats were initially only small size and light, which were mainly made to run in rivers and coastal water areas.

Contribution of Greece and Phoenicians

Greece and Phonicians built ships to increase their maritime trade and used them not only for business, but also for war. The Greeks formed the Galli boats, which were run by sailors who were plating in three rows. The construction of this type of ships was very expensive because it was very difficult to prepare them for war and put war materials on them.

Fonisians made long trips by sea, and they used ships for trade as well as exploration. The cost of their boats and the technique of construction is still a matter of research for historians.

Changes in the modern era of shipbuilding

There was many changes in the construction of ships over time. The construction of ships had increased even more in the 18th century last, and the cost of ships was also increased. During the time of industrial revolution, iron and steel were used for shipbuilding, which increased the size of ships and also increased the cost of construction. In the 19th century, steam -powered ships were invented, causing a revolution in the maritime journey. Nowadays, modern techniques are used in the manufacture of ships. They are very expensive, and they cost in millions of dollars. The construction of huge cruise vessels, cargo vessels, and warships used for sea trip is a difficult and expensive work.

Brooklyn Bridge Accident: A serious incident occurred in New York City on Saturday night (May 17) when the Mexican Navy’s long sailing ship ‘Arm Kuuthemok’ collided with the Brooklyn Bridge. This collision stirred the entire area. About 200 people were riding on the ship. After the collision, a search and rescue operation has been started to get people out of the water.

The incident is reported to be just before 9 pm when the 147-foot elevated mast of the ship hit the deck of the bridge. Soon after, videos and footage of the incident went viral on social media, in which the nervousness and fear of the people were clearly visible.

Navy personnel and passengers were present on the ship

After the incident, several injured were sent to Brooklyn Navy Yard and then to the hospital. The condition of two people is said to be critical. According to the New York Post and other media reports, the ship was a training vessel of the Mexican Navy, built in Spain in 1982. The name of this vessel is ‘Kuuthemok’, which is the name of a famous warrior king in Mexican history. However, it is not clear why the ship was traveling in the East River and under which mission.

Video of collision viral on social media

Many shocking videos and reactions have come out on social media. One user wrote, ‘I saw Brooklyn Bridge blowing live smoke by a huge Mexican flag boat.’ Another called it to destroy the bridge by a pirate ship. The incident brought back memories of the Baltimore Bridge accident, where the bridge of Francis Scott collapsed and killed 6 people due to the collision of a cargo ship in March 2024.

Navy preparation and safety measures in the circle of questions

This incident has once again questioned the plans for maritime security, navigation system and river traffic of naval ships. Officials have not yet told what was the reason for the collision – was it a human error, a default in technical fault or navigation? Although it is a matter of relief that there is no heavy loss of life and property, but such a threat to the historical structure like Brooklyn Bridge is worrying. The New York administration has ordered an inquiry into the bridge situation and security arrangements are also being reviewed.

Shipbuilding sector: India is continuously moving forward in every field. In such a situation, why did you lag behind in making ships? The government is going to start the second phase of shipbuilding financial assistant policy with the aim of promoting shipbuilding and increasing demand in the country. Under this, more than Rs 20,000 crore will be assisted by the government for building four greenfield ship in the next six years and development of repairing hub.

These four places have been identified

According to the TOI report, four locations have been identified to manufacture ships and create repair hubs- Odisha (Center of Paradip Port), Andhra Pradesh (Dugrajpatnam), Gujarat (Kandla) and Tamil Nadu (Tuticorin). Greenfield ships will be built in 2,000-3,000 acres of land and repair centers will be developed here.

Explain that in the next five years, about 112 ships (estimated cost of Rs 85,700 crore) may be required to carry crude oil, petroleum products, LPG, LNG, Black Oil, Bitmen and other products. In view of this, emphasis is being laid on shipbuilding in the country.

Negotiations with these foreign companies

According to the report, a source said, this is the right time to develop a new shipbuilding hub in view of domestic demand. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has been instructed to extract tenders for tankers of 10 middle middle range in May itself.

As many shipyards are currently (eight big, seven mediums and 28 small shipyards), they currently have 28 ships of this range. The government of Andhra Pradesh has discussed Japan’s largest shipbuilder Imbari shipbuilding company and two South Korean companies – HD KSO and Hanva Ocean – for this proposed project in Durgarajpatnam.

Officials concerned said that a proposal to create a sea development fund of Rs 25,000 crore will be placed before the Cabinet for approval. This fund will provide financial assistance to the shipping sector through equity and loan securities.
