Could uncrewed boats make the PT-boat or motor-torpedo-boat concept relevant again?
Short answerYes; autonomy makes fast, expendable littoral attack craft an interesting modern possibility.
NotesModern uncrewed surface vessels can revive some features of historical PT boats and motor torpedo boats. Removing crew reduces the human risk that made small attack craft difficult to employ against heavily defended targets. Speed and expendability remain useful characteristics, while guided weapons change how the craft can attack. The analogy is operational rather than merely visual.
