This is the first time American unmanned surface vessels have been sent over such a long distance to support manned ships.
The US Navy has dispatched two unmanned surface vessels or drone ships to its base in Japan as it looks to deter China from exerting its influence in the northwestern Pacific region, reported. This signals a shift in the usage of drone ships in naval combat paving the way for their increased usage in the near future.
This is the first time, the US drone ships have been sent so far away from US shores and were accompanied by Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Shoup. The USVs are armed with the US Navy's Standard Missile-6, which can defend from aerial attacks and terminal ballistic missiles, while also performing strike functions.
