Naval Group pitches an 8,000-ton ship built to launch air, sea and undersea drones

French shipbuilder Naval Group unveiled SCX 26 at Euronaval, a concept drone carrier meant to serve as the hub of a mixed crewed and uncrewed fleet for missions from intelligence gathering to anti-submarine warfare. The blueprint calls for a 170-meter, 8,000-ton ship with a crew of 150, more than 100 vertical launch silos and an electromagnetic gun. The design is still at the blueprint stage.
