Looks too big for that(though of course depends on UUV), I'd bet it's a fully capable asw node.
Why does it look too big? Is it not harder to find UUVs than full-sized attack subs?
FCS reincarnated across the Pacific to get revenge on Pentagon bureaucrats.
FCS was way lighter though, and overall was an entirely different(if not close to opposite) concept...
I think they were saying 99B in the later part of the stream.
Not exactly. Proper noise cancellation technology requires enormous amounts of space to fully accommodate so for manned SSN the trend is that larger ones are more quiet, not less. However for UUVs if a single vessel sits in the middle of nowhere for ages on end without even moving, that is indeed more difficult to find than usual submarines. This is ignoring that an immobile sub is much less of a threat to opponents marine assets.
