Noce article, thanks. This would be an extremely challenging project WITH money. Without money or a timeline, I'd say it's dead in the water. Technical hurdles at a minimum would be: autonomous underwater navigation in areas not well (or at all) charted, underwater acoustics processing (just recording isn't good enough), other sensors?, communication (how?). I can think of dozens of other issues that would require a robust submarine technology base to even start cracking like self noise.....I remain ready to be convinced, but.....

Yeah, I'm positive if we want to make this a thing that we could make it work. I know we have the talent that, with the time and money could likely pull it off. However, like I said, its gonna take a lot of stepping up, won't be easy, and needs some actual timelines and effort put into it.

Pieces are there to me. Its gonna take more than the platforms themselves, new technology, new Infrastructure is a big one, and a serious backing to make it happen. The Industry is there. They've been prepping to take this challenge on. It is a very mighty ask though.
