U.S. deploys uncrewed underwater vehicles for Hormuz counter-mine effort

The post notes CENTCOM deploying uncrewed underwater vehicles (underwater drones/UUVs) to help clear or neutralize sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz as part of enforcing/ending a naval blockade. While UUV mine countermeasures are not new globally, their reported operational deployment in this specific crisis context is a notable battlefield/operational adaptation that can speed clearance and reduce risk to crewed minesweepers.
