US Navy deploys unmanned surface vessel Sea Hawk with carrier group for first time

The US Navy's unmanned surface vessel 'Sea Hawk' has crossed the Pacific to join the carrier strike group of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, marking the first operational integration of an unmanned surface vessel with an American aircraft carrier. This represents a significant milestone in the Navy's shift toward distributed maritime operations and human-machine teaming, though the vessel's specific capabilities and mission role remain undisclosed. The deployment signals an acceleration in the operational use of unmanned systems in high-end naval warfare.
