is a sleek grey trimaran that cuts through the water at 27 knots, capable of sailing from San Diego to Tokyo, and back again, on a single tank of diesel—all by itself. The ship is an “autonomous unmanned surface vehicle”—a fancy name for a sailing drone—operated by America’s navy. The air conditioning on board is for the benefit of computers, rather than humans. The design pays little heed to habitability.
In a speech in Santa Monica to the RAND Corporation, a think-tank, on September 16th, Mark Esper, the American defence secretary, explained how he intended to solve the problem, outlining ambitious plans for a revamped navy. The starting point was more ships, if not quite as many as Reagan envisaged. America currently has 296. Mr Esper promised to expand the fleet to more than 355 .
The navy is still experimenting with the tactics to accompany this shift. Rear-Admiral Gaucher says that next year the Pacific Fleet will conduct an exercise dedicated to that question. Mr Esper said that unmanned ships would “perform a variety of warfighting functions”, including supplying other ships and laying mines, but also “delivering lethal fires”.
How does this solve our climate change problem.
Doesn't matter everyone got more missiles anyway you better build up medicine
The US should halve its military budget
Important parity -- power-projection re. more than just China -- cops -- all the other big-guys need 24/7 reminders that we're out there. Air cover doesn't do it, we need less of that, more 'mobile' boots-on-ground-if-needed. Must work toward No Nukes, too.
