The MQ-25A is the most complex autonomous system ever developed for the carrier environment, and this historic achievement advances us closer to safely integrating the Stingray into the carrier air wing.

The operation to out Navy sailors was called 'Section A' and was dreamt up with the express motive to rid the U.S. Navy in Newport, Rhode Island, of all 'c*cksuckers and rectum receivers.'

The US Navy is betting on 3D printing parts to speed up work on the fleet while also cutting costs after two wins last year, the service said recently. A Naval Sea Systems Command release said that additive manufacturing moved "from a promising capability to a warfighting capability in 2025." Two examples the Navy said were among the service's most significant achievements last year involved putting 3D-printed parts on its most in-demand and complex vessels.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. Donald Trump has announced plans for the US navy to build a new generation of warships known as Trump-class. The ships will be bigger, faster and a hundred times more powerful than any previous US-built warship, the president said on Monday. The project will begin with construction of two such battleships and eventually be expanded to 20 to 25 new vessels.

President Donald Trump on Monday shared details about new additions to what he's calling the US Navy's "Golden Fleet." Two "Trump-class" ships, which the president described as "battleships," were announced Monday afternoon at a press conference. Trump said they would be "AI-controlled" and have "lasers," and he said that the design would be led by the US Navy with his aesthetic input.

Vice Adm. Curt Renshaw, the head of US Naval Forces Central Command, said the "first successful launch of LUCAS from a naval vessel marks a significant milestone in rapidly delivering affordable and effective" drones to American military personnel. The drone launched from the Santa Barbara belonged to a new squadron based in the Middle East that operates the LUCAS systems, one-way attack drones that resemble the Iranian-designed Shahed-136 widely used by Russia in attacks against Ukraine.

A US Navy aircraft carrier's hard evasive turn to avoid enemy missile fire caught crewmembers off guard and sent a $60 million F/A-18 Super Hornet rolling off the deck and into the Red Sea, an investigation into the fighter jet loss revealed. The fighter's brakes weren't functioning properly, investigators found, allowing the jet to slide across the deck when the carrier USS Harry S. Truman abruptly changed course during the late April action. Poor communication, bad brakes, and a slippery surface all contributed to the loss.

Announced on social media site X by Secretary of the Navy John Phelan, the decision means the Constellation class of frigates will be limited to the two ships currently under construction, instead of the 20 that were planned. Phelan said he wanted to reshape how the Navy builds and fields its fleet, and axing the Constellation class is the first step toward this goal.

Long-range drone ships could transform Pacific warfare, expanding a navy's reach while keeping sailors out of harm's way. An American company building these kinds of ships with the Navy's needs in mind says it has successfully tested its technology in the water, bringing the innovative vessel a major step closer to becoming reality. Blue Water Autonomy is the first to test larger, long-range interchangeable ship-scale systems in an iterative way on the water, its leadership told Business Insider.

A US Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet and an MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter crashed in separate incidents on Sunday in the South China Sea, the US Pacific Fleet said. Both military aircraft had been deployed from the USS Nimitz and went down 30 minutes apart from each other during routine operations, the Navy said in a statement on Sunday. "All personnel involved are safe and in stable condition. The cause of both incidents is currently under investigation," it said.
