US Navy drones: Coming to a carrier near China?

To stay ahead of China's rising military, the United States is developing aircraft carrier-based drones. After releasing no information on where these drones would be stationed, a Navy officer told The Associated Press that some would likely be deployed in Asia. Land based drones are often used in the Middle East, it will still take several more years to develop the sea based drones. China says that their growing military is only to protect themselves. It is developing new air, naval and missile capabilities that could potentially challenge U.S. military power. Even though China is still years behind, the U.S. realizes it needs to stay with the developing military technology.
