    With the success of drones in Ukraine, I wonder if the future’s just going to be midget drone-mothership subs.

      midget drone-mothership subs.

      So is it a the mothership that’s a drone, or the midget subs? The latter would make more sense.

          Smart, you can fit an entire extra story inside that way. And they’re less likely to mutiny if HAL decides when they surface.

        The subs contain lots of drones, but the subs are unmanned, making them drones, and they’re launched by a bigger mothership sub that’s also a drone. All manned by midgets pretending to be AI, of course.
