民主黨重掌國會磨刀霍霍!7500億「川普級戰艦」恐第1個被砍

民主黨議員計畫針對高成本國防項目進行削減,川普級戰艦被視為首要目標

Quick Look

美國民主黨在期中選舉後重掌國會,預計將嚴格審查川普政府的國防計畫。其中,造價高昂的「川普級」核動力戰艦因成本過高及戰略爭議,面臨被新國會刪減或取消的重大風險。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

川普級戰艦計畫自2025年12月提出以來,因其高昂造價與戰略實用性問題在國會兩黨間引發爭議。該計畫預計耗資巨大,且與現行分散海上殺傷力的戰略方向不符。

美國民主黨在期中選舉取得歷史性大勝,成功奪回國會參眾兩院控制權,預料將使川普政府多項備受矚目的國防計畫面臨嚴格審查,甚至遭到刪減。其中,造價高昂且備受爭議的核動力「川普級」戰艦計畫,預計將成為新國會的頭號開刀對象。

美國軍事網站「戰區」(The War Zone)報導,自2025年12月推出以來,川普級戰艦的實用性與成本一直飽受民主、共和兩黨質疑。預計明年將接掌眾議院軍事委員會的民主黨眾議員史密斯(Adam Smith),以及可能出任海權與武力投射小組委員會主席的民主黨眾議員柯特尼(Joe Courtney),均為該計畫的強烈批評者。

外洩的內部信件顯示,史密斯已向民主黨同僚呼籲:「我們需要的是高階生存系統與低成本耗損能力的適當組合,而不是總統提議的核動力戰艦艦隊。」

華府智庫「戰略暨國際研究中心」(CSIS)高級顧問坎西恩(Mark Cancian)指出,民主黨將積極摒除華府的川普色彩,「這款戰艦很可能注定失敗,一方面是因為其名稱,另一方面是因為它極其昂貴且缺乏充分理由。」

「捍衛民主基金會」(FDD)高級研究員、退役海軍少將蒙哥馬利(Mark Montgomery)更直言,該計畫的前提與10年來分散海上殺傷力的跨黨派戰略背道而馳,更因高得離譜的造價而窒礙難行─1艘川普級戰艦的成本相當於10艘「勃克級」(Arleigh Burke class)驅逐艦。他認為,在期中選舉後,該計畫已經「擱淺並開始進水」。

川普級戰艦的設計排水量為3萬5000噸,將配備先進感測器、垂直發射系統(VLS)、電磁軌道砲及雷射導能武器,並確認將採核動力推進。海軍原本計畫在2029至2055財政年度間採購至少15艘,首艦「無畏號」(USS Defiant)預計2036年服役。

國會預算處(CBO)估計,川普級戰艦首艦造價可能高達230億美元(約新台幣7541億元),後續艦平均造價亦達180億美元,甚至高於「福特級」(Ford class)航空母艦。

除了戰艦,川普強推的「黃金艦隊」(Golden Fleet)計畫,包括要求福特級航艦改回傳統蒸汽彈射系統,以及耗資龐大的「金穹」飛彈防禦系統,也將面臨國會的強力挑戰。在伊朗戰爭消耗大量彈藥庫存,以及援助烏克蘭等國際壓力的雙重夾擊下,川普政府高達1.5兆美元的國防預算,將在明年迎來嚴峻考驗。
