  • Dozens of "Ghost Shark" autonomous submarines to be produced in Australia from next year
  • Co-developed by Royal Australian Navy and Anduril
  • Capable of surveillance, strike missions over long distances

Surprised at how cheap these things are compared to our imaginary ~~non-nuclear~~ ~~nuclear~~ whatever we can get subs from ~~France~~ ~~USA~~ who the hell knows in ~~10 years~~ ~~25 years~~ whenever

Also, I wonder if they can attach a laser so we can have our Ghost Sharks with frickin' laser beams.
