Loiter munitions such as Switchblades 600 that can kill MBTs might also be able to do great damage to ships by targeting their missiles. Thus a swarm of these might be able to overwhelm a ships air defenses and could be launched from a relatively small unmanned ship that might be submersible or semi submersible. So as the weapons get smaller the platforms that launch them can get smaller as well. And removing the humans help make those platforms even smaller. And in regard to autonomous weapon employment there is another method where the human gives the weapon rules of engagement (ROEs) from which the unmanned delivery platform can launch weapons autonomously within the restrictions of those ROEs. For example the ROEs might specify a small kill box, time window, ID confidence threshold, and conditions like loss of communications to employ its weapon autonomously. For autonomous weapons are not new but have been around for quite along time, called mines. As such AI controlled autonomous weapon employment governed by human designated ROEs would be a big step up from a sea mine in regard to any risk of inflicting collateral damage on friendlies, neutrals, or civilians.
I might add here that as far as having robust communications, a Starlink terminal with a beefed up antenna with even more gain would be pretty hard to jam as it would be hard to take out many of the satellites. So a small unmanned ship could have pretty decent range, could be reasonably stealthy, could carry a lot of small UAVs/loitering munitions, could have pretty robust communications plus pretty smart AI and be pretty inexpensive as well so one could potentially have lots of them and could be deployed form larger manned ships or perhaps even large aircraft like a C-5 or C-17. As such it seems these may be as big of game changers for sea warfare as the ATGMs are now proving to be for land combat.
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 105 sentadillas son unos XX18LIKE.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesz abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k
I could see scores of unmanned submersible autonomous sensor and weapons platform at the bottom of the Taiwan Strait. If I read correctly it's only 150 meters deep there, smaller would be less discoverable, no allied sailors lives to lose in a high threat environment if China were to invade Taiwan. I can see them wreaking havoc on Chinese surface ships and submarines. Doesn't sound like it would be this year or the next but maybe ten years down the road. Maybe a lot less time for a surface/semi-submersible autonomous ship that could be used to resupply Marines on various Pacific islands interdicting large areas of the Pacific Ocean.

Plenty of ships to practice on in the Black Sea. 😉😉

Can't see a truly "autonomous" ship, with all the maintenance needed to maintain a ship. However I can see a short term autonomous mission.
A swarm of autonomous torpedos lieing on the bottom and waiting for activation...
Would a capsule be there where a person has same experience of being there to respond?
