In 2018, the Sea Hunter, an autonomous vessel with no crew, made a historic journey from California to Hawaii, showcasing the future of naval warfare. This groundbreaking technology, a decade in the making, positions the U.S. Navy at the forefront of innovation, though rival nations are racing to develop their own versions.
Meanwhile, the SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) offers a glimpse into covert operations. These small, radar-invisible submarines carry elite SEAL teams behind enemy lines for secretive missions. Operating in complete darkness, SDVs enable precise, stealthy strikes where traditional vessels cannot reach.
In 2045, it is expected that Columbia-class submarines will patrol American waters, poised to respond to emerging threats. With their advanced X-shaped sterns designed for unmatched agility, these subs are anticipated to become America’s silent but formidable guardians, ready to strike from the ocean's depths when needed.
Finally, the Orca XLUUV, an unmanned underwater drone, redefines naval warfare. With capabilities ranging from laying mines to launching missile strikes, this versatile sea drone embodies the cutting edge of maritime dominance, poised to reshape the battlefield.
