The major objective for the new navy is to achieve high mobility with most effectiveness using minimum resources like the ground forces. All navy ships should be submersible. The depth would vary. The major navy force will be small submarine robots. Either human or self-operated. Imagine them like a small whale with armored body like a knight.
Inside the robot submarine will be self-sustained (eating, resting, toilet) like in a Mercury Space Capsule. Operator soldier should be able survive without a resupply for several days. Less burden on the logistics. Living space parts and know how would be transferable between the space industry.
The robot submarine in its smallest form should be able to fit in a half container for easy transport. The robots would be deployed in groups. A human operated one would control the autonomous ones. Due to limited wireless connectivity underwater, they may need to be in close proximity depending on the task.
Compared to a large submarine attacking, attacking with multiple small ones is advantageous. With this strategy the number of firing points and targets increase for the enemy. The autonomous ones would not have a human living space therefore can have more torpedo and fuel in them. More important is you allocate only one human for multiple firing points. Their attack to a battle ship or aircraft carrier would be like the attack of piranha fishes to a buffalo.
Robot submarine's small size and light weight allow them to be air deployable therefore increasing mobility.
