If any of the three branches should go "full drone" first it probably should be the Navy as building ships is VERY expensive.

I could see fleets of drone submarines of various sizes capable of launching torpedoes, cruise missiles, etc. that would make surface ships obsolete.

You don’t want drones launching Tridents or having the autonomous AI to make decisions to do so.

The USN’s future is NOT carriers, or any surface ships.
