MUSVs pair containerized missions with new shipyard entrants

The plan proposes swappable containerized payloads so medium uncrewed surface vessels can be tailored for scouting, screening, deception, denial, or strike. Those duties resemble work once performed by corvettes, sloops, frigates, and escort destroyers. The acquisition strategy is also industrial: smaller yards and new entrants could build MUSVs without displacing high-end work at the established nuclear and combatant yards. Landing ships and frigates could likewise broaden the builder base while the largest yards concentrate on Burkes, submarines, carriers, and battleships. Earlier, a decoy example describes using uncrewed vessels to generate misleading radar returns and draw attention away from crewed ships.
