The US Navy has been trying to get Congress to approve "Arsenal Ships", basically nuclear-powered modern battleships of 100,000 ton displacement, since 1992. As can be imagined, this did not sit well with said body, so the best they've managed so far have been the three 14,500 ton displacement DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class "destroyers" (in actuality, heavy cruisers). With the upcoming deployment of the Naval Rail Gun and Aegis system's replacement, they might try again.
