For clues about how a UNITED STATES Navy of the future may look, consider the 2022 Rim of the Pacific exercise.
Yes, there was a traditional flotilla of 38 ships and 170 aircraft operating around the Hawaiian Islands. But among the massive collection of equipment were MQ-9B Sea Guardian UAVs streaming live video and data feeds back to command centers ashore. Smaller UAVs also flew, like the V-Bat drone off the back of the UNITED STATES Navy destroyer Michael Monsoor, acting as a remote sensor for the ship.
Nearby, a pair of large unmanned ships — named Nomad and Ranger — patrolled the waters while under the control of staff at the so-called unmanned operations center back in California.

Fair use is the right to use a copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission of the copyright owner. The doctrine helps prevent a rigid application of copyright law that would stifle the very creativity the law is designed to foster. It allows one to use and build upon prior works in a manner that does not unfairly deprive prior copyright owners of the right to control and benefit from their works. Together with other features of copyright law like the idea/expression dichotomy discussed above, fair use reconciles the copyright statute with the First Amendment.
