I wonder if they plan on using them for replenishment of supplies. Beans and bullets to the front line guys.
I’ve got to think AEW (radar, ship stays EMCON, drone takes off, flies off/up, lights up), ASW (dipping sonar, dropping sonabuoys, dropping Mk 50 or 54 aerial torpedos), would be more likely.
Just a guess, though.

The second Pentagon-approved representation at the link seems to depict that!
More likely to get hi-rez pics of the guys breaking some ROE that puts them at hi-risk...
