New Unmanned Underwater Vessel Needed For the US Navy - I'll Explain

The number of new Naval Submarines in the world is drastically increasing, so much so that it's becoming a real problem. There is more to keep track of and more nations testing our naval bases and infringing upon our waters, seeing just how close they can get without detection. Okay so, we know something needs to be done, but it does not really make sense to chase each one of them around with a submarine crew of high-tech Navy sailors, we have enough to do keeping peace in the world, maintaining readiness, and chasing pirates.

So, let's make a bunch of UUVs or Underwater Unmanned Vehicles which can match the speed of any of the submarines of any of the other Navies in the world. Let's make them so the units can attach themselves quietly to the enemy submarine using high powered magnets which stay powered up by using the relative water flow. The UUVs will have a giant rudder on them for their size which will make the submarines steering extremely difficult, and cause it to move through the water very slowly from the extra drag.

If the Submarine surfaces then the little UUV will merely unhook itself and hang back a mile or so, while the submarine crew inspects their sub and finds nothing wrong. Then once it dives again the little pain-in-the-butt UUV will re-attach and do the same thing. And the enemy Navy sub won't know what the heck is wrong. Finally, after the enemy sub heads for home and gets within 50-miles the little UUV will send an electro-magnetic pulse into sub, rendering all its electronic useless. Then it can detach undetected and swim away.

The foreign Navy will have to tow their sub into port crippled, and we can all have a big laugh at the Starbucks down the street from our research center. What do you say boys, I have a couple of designs in mind. Ah, ha ha, ha ha! Two can play the game of cat and mouse, and we intend to win! Next time an enemy sub breaks down, guess who?
