This fall, an unusual vessel will begin sea trials off the coast of California. The 51-foot-long Boeing Echo Voyager will have no crew. It will glide underwater for days or weeks, quietly collecting data from the ocean floor to send back to crews on ships or on land.

I can't afford the book (which cost $1,500) "Janes Fighting Ships", but I bet the future will have a lot of these babies in it along with a new submarine drone tender too, better yet make that sub tender a nuclear ice breaker for the Arctic service.

I can hear the tube doors opening now
