The US Navy is considering redesigning upcoming Ford‑class aircraft carriers to reflect former President Trump’s aesthetic preferences, the Washington Post reports. Proposed changes include relocating the carriers’ multi‑level island command center to the ship’s midsection. Officials say the alteration could cost billions of dollars, exacerbate existing construction delays and forfeit three operational advantages: increased deck parking capacity, shorter intervals between catapult launches, and reduced turbulence on landings. The moves remain under study and could extend build timelines as the conflict with Iran has pushed carrier demand higher.

Israel Defense Forces said the incidents constitute violations of the ceasefire agreement and strongly condemned them.
