The USNavy now has two carriers ready to run its MQ-25 Stingray tanker drone! USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) just joined USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) with its own Unmanned Air Warfare Center, the control hub that lets the ship's crew command drones. The Stingray is meant to take over aerial refueling from Super Hornets, which have reportedly spent 20 to 30 percent of their carrier flights just tanking other jets! The first production MQ-25 flew in April, and the Navy plans to buy 76. Not flashy, but it might be the most useful drone in the Navy.
