Should uncrewed warships be specialized?

Should uncrewed vessels be specialized for ASW or air defense?

No; use modular StanFlex-like payloads so common hulls can be reconfigured for missiles, mine warfare, ASW, or other tasks.

The preference is for a common, flexible platform coordinated by a crewed ship rather than many permanently specialized designs. StanFlex provides the model for exchanging mission equipment as operational needs change. The same hull could carry missiles, anti-submarine equipment, or mine-warfare systems according to the deployment. Modularity would simplify the flotilla while letting commanders reassign scarce payloads without maintaining a separate vessel design for every task.
