Britain has a new drone carrier

A pilotless plane has flown on and off a Royal Navy aircraft carrier for the first time. The W Autonomous Systems (WAS) drone flew from the Lizard Peninsula and on to the deck of HMS Prince of Wales off the Cornish coast, delivered supplies, then flew back in a milestone flight which points the way to the future of naval aviation.

I think one of these ships will become a dedicated deone carrier in the future. As we see in Ukraine, drones are the new warfare

Is this useful, or just one step in developing something with a greater capability?

[@wayneschenk5512]

Wonder how much that will cost with military use in its development.
