Uncrewed assets are likely to make their motherships larger

The predicted future warship is the centre of its own task group of uncrewed assets. A docking facility like that of a landing platform dock would let surface craft come inside for rearming and reconfiguration. The carrier in the computer game Carrier Command illustrates the idea with its own guns and missiles, remotely controlled aircraft, and amphibious vehicles. The analogy is a prediction about real naval requirements, not a claim that the game's vessel exists. A mothership's fighting power includes both its own weapons and the vehicles it deploys. Facilities to accommodate, maintain, repair, and rebuild those vehicles consume space, so uncrewed systems are expected to increase the size of their crewed support ships.
