How many drones could we launch from a air craft carrier.

One could be turn into a complete drone manufacturing plant and launch plat form

Subs would be better. Carriers are temporarily floating caskets in the 21st century’s drone warfare age. (not all drones are airborne)

Why use something provocative like an Aircraft Carrier or other obvious Naval vessel.

I heard this on a recent podcast; the example was Ukraine’s use of trucks with roofs that opened launching a few dozen drones. What if you used a cargo ship stacked with shipping containers, all rigged with roofs that open, launching hundreds if not thousands of drones at one time.

Now put that cargo just offshore in international waters and launch them on an American City like Washington DC.

I don’t know for sure, I doubt there is any defense for this type of attack.

It would not be a stretch to think someone could launch multiple attacks like this up and down both coasts of the US.
