They won't notice...I didn't put the scare word "drone" in the title.

The title is incorrect.  It probably is the first launch of a stealth drone from a carrier, but it misses being the first launch of an UAV from a carrier by over half a century.  Drones were launched from a carrier deck at least as early as 1946 for the purpose of collecting samples from the mushroom clouds of Operation Crossroads.

Cool. In theory this thing could land in the middle of Iran without the government knowing?

This is pretty cool. This isn't some RC toy "drone" but a fully functioning robot that takes off and lands on its own, right?

They refer to it as "semi-autonomous".
