'Drone' Aircraft Carriers: The U.S. Navy's Future Coming Soon?

Summary and Key Points: The concept of a "sub-carrier," a submarine capable of launching drones from a flat-top deck, is closer to reality than many might think. The U.S. Navy has already tested submarine-launched drones like the Sea Robin and Blackwing, and Israel has recently developed the Ninox 103, a stealth drone that can be launched from a submerged submarine.

-The sub-carrier could enhance undersea warfare by allowing submarines to penetrate contested areas and support operations with reconnaissance and targeting capabilities.
