China is constructing a specialized vessel at a Shanghai shipyard, believed to be the world's first dedicated carrier for unmanned submarines. The ship features a well deck, internal hangar, and can accommodate around four unmanned submarines, each measuring up to 45 meters in length. These submarines are significantly larger than those operated by other navies, including the US Navy's Orca drone submarine. Experts suggest that this vessel is designed for military purposes rather than research.
