The underwater spy drones are in the sea, circling like sharks.

Gee I wonder where these are on station?

Four more U.S. spy satellites just took flight. A Northrop Grumman Minotaur IV rocket launched from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) in Virginia today (July 15) at 9:46 a.m. EDT (1346 GMT), carrying the NROL-129 mission to orbit for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and Space Force.

If it’s a ‘drone’ why does it retain the shape of a canopy like there was a pilot inside?...............

Probably radar and sensors in an electronically transparent dome.

Blunt shapes are more aerodynamic at subsonic velocities. Teardrops are slipperier than sharp leading edges below the speed of sound.
