The Navy’s next tranche of attack submarines will control unmanned undersea vehicles and deploy SEAL commandos, according to U.S. Naval Institute News. The shift reflects the Navy’s broad shift towards big power warfare - think a low-grade war with China or Russia – where unmanned submarines would stalk enemy ships and SEAL commandos may need stealthy rides to carry out missions against defended coastlines.
(Of course, there’s the whole notion that a “low-grade war†with China or Russia would never happen in a million years and that sort of thing would pretty much immediately go nuclear, but you know what? Shrug. Just.... shrug. This is what the U.S. government wants to spend its money on. Write your representative.)
