Summary:

• **What is a Drone Aircraft Carrier?** The U.S. Navy is thinking about turning the USS Nimitz, which is a huge military ship, into a carrier for drones instead of regular airplanes. Drones are like remote-controlled flying robots that don't need pilots inside them, so they could help the Navy do more missions in different ways.

• **Why Would This Be Useful?** Using drones instead of regular planes would let the Navy send more aircraft from one ship and keep pilots safe since they wouldn't be flying in dangerous situations. This is a new idea about how the Navy might use its biggest ships in the future to be stronger and smarter.
