Drone Aircraft Carriers with Drone Support Ships 

 

A new fleet is rising—mass-produced drone carriers and support ships built for endurance, adaptability, and frontline readiness. These vessels serve dual roles, supplying fuel and provisions to aircraft carriers and warships across operational theaters.

Portsmouth and the Solent will lead the charge with an ambitious production run of 500 ships, reestablishing the region as a strategic hub for naval drone manufacturing.

Equipped with our elite Nightingale drones and backed by a full spectrum of combat, rescue, and reconnaissance UAVs, these carriers form the backbone of a new naval doctrine. Sea-based drones with expanded capabilities are also entering mass production, ready to

dominate across multiple domains..

​

We will turn Portsmouth Historic Dockyard back into a thriving drone shipbuilding hub creating 500 new manufacturing jobs in Portsmouth and the Solent area. Creating the centre of

the world's advanced drone fleets.
