dedicated USV carrier is useful
IMO dedicated USV carrier is wrong strategy. Navy could multiply effectiveness of current warships using USB. İntegration of USVs with İstif class would double its ASW as well as antiship and air defense capabilities. It is more reasonable than expensive destroyers.

Please notice AESA plates and AIM9x sidewinders.

This could be loitering autonomous point defense system of İstif class. İmagine two ULAQ USV - with 4x Bozdoğan missiles - floating around İstif class.

I think most useful and cost effective USV for us rn would be something carrying aesa radar and 10x containerized Eren like the air defence version Roketsan showcased.

Eren is already launch platform agnostic, has very long range for its size, is cheap and can target both air targets and moving/stationary surface targets

So in a single usv you get air defence/denial against helicopters, Male and kamikaze drones. Strike capability against ships. And can engage the islands from safe distance.

You cannot just integrate an USV onto an existing ship as if putting on another rhib, a Marlin USV weighs 20 tons, you cannot just put it on anywhere. Even smaller ones like Ulaq weighs 6-8 tons and these numbers are with smaller payloads.

Then need to create long range (4000-5000 miles)and big (200-250 ton) unmanned warships. Like ocean going trawlers. Kinda naval loyal wingman.

Taygan interceptor drones developed by Han Robotics were delivered to the Navy as a C-uas system for Ships
