U.S. Navy testing unmanned ‘Ghost Hunter’ submarines

The U.S. Navy is set to unleash an army of ‘ghost boats‘ to scour the coasts for enemy submarines. They hope to end the growing threat of quiet, diesel-powered enemy submarines entering American waters undetected. Bosses revealed the first 132-foot-long ship, officially named The Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel, will take to the water on April 7th.
