UK Scraps Type 83 Destroyer Plans in Favour of Drone-Command 'Common Combat Vessels'
The Royal Navy is abandoning its Type 83 destroyer programme, instead procuring at least six Common Combat Vessels (CCVs) to serve as command hubs for fleets of aerial, surface, and underwater autonomous drones. Set to enter service in the early 2030s, the CCVs reflect a fundamental shift toward distributed, autonomous maritime warfare and will be built in the UK.
