They've been doing this in one form or another for more than a decade already. Like when
Data8 came out.

When they have one capable of tracking a Nuc one, attacking and sinking the Nuc one, they can give it the name SHARK.

Nice to tell everyone. The anti-sub-drone is not far behind now.

Giving all of our F-35s to Iran would probably weaken them and strengthen us.

I’m all for reducing costs and casualties.....but, damn. I’m not at all confident that we have thought this completely through. I hope we have.

They need to add an explosive and have it latch on magnetically like a lamprey. If you get attacked, push a button and decimate their navy.
