without having to maintain a human life you can do almost anything with an unmanned vehicle for a tiny fraction of the cost ... You can launch off a tiny British carrier with RATO or a catapult that would kill a man ... You can carry enormous amounts of ordinance for CAS ... and you can command the skies with swarms of craft that can outmaneuver anything with a human. Who needs aircraft carriers ,, drop 6 or so unmanned microjets off a C-130 ramp and turn for home...
