BBC has an interesting article (dated 29-June-2026):
Navy to build drone-equipped warships instead of replacing ageing destroyers
some extracts:
I am most curious (1) to see the design, and (2) to see if other navies quickly follow suit?
EDIT - related (sort of) is a wiki such as this...
I have not been tracking a lot of Navy stuff, so after stumbling across some obscure references to a year 2006 activity by the Canadian navy in regards to amphibious assault ship, I thought to dig further.
Presumably such a ship could be useful not only for wartime , but also for disaster...
No surprise, given both Canada and UK are likely adopting a similar system for their Type-26 class warships.
