I posted the one that the Navy is already going to deploy, quite a pipe dream.....lolol!

The only thing that isn’t a reality right now is a dedicated drone carrier, the planes are already a reality.

I knew about these things for a long time. I had no idea some people actually thought the intent of these things was to replace tactical strike aircraft? Come on you can't be that stupid.

From the article:

Carrier-based unmanned aircraft systems have tremendous potential, especially in increasing the range and persistence of our intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations, as well as our ability to strike targets quickly,” Van Buskirk said at the 7th Fleet’s headquarters in Yokosuka, Japan.
