A old timeline i once attempted to post at NavWeaps Discussion Boards (The Naval Fiction Board) about unmanned combat ships.
Fact file I
As of Augustus 19th 2006 these United States Navy Sea Arrow versions are in service with the United States Navy.
United States navy sea arrow versions are
USV-1 USS Sea Arrow, currently deployed 7 miles outside the territorial waters of Somalia as part of the Combined Task Force 150.
USV-2 USS Sea Javelin, currently moored near Naval Station Norfolk Sea Arrow project headquarters for software and Artificial intelligent monitoring.
USV-3 USS Sea Lance, based out of Pearl Harbor naval base Hawaii and assigned to the United States Pacific Fleet.
USV-4 USS Sea Spear, based out of Naval Station Norfolk and assigned to the United States Second Fleet.
USV-5 USS Sea Sword, assigned to the US Office of Naval Research at Naval Base San Diego.
USV-6 USS Sea Axe, based out of Naval Station Norfolk and assigned to the United States Second Fleet.
Fact file II
Designed in 2001 with the first Sea Arrow class unmanned surface vehicle entering production in 2004, the Sea Arrow class are the next generation of the United States Navy unmanned surface vehicles which are currently in development by the navy. Designed in response to emerging terrorist threats against maritime assets, the sea arrow class unmanned surface vehicles are stealthy, highly autonomous and can operate with almost no guidance from a commander in port in a variety of roles, thanks to the plug-and-play design of its various mission modules, such as force protection, anti-terror, surveillance and reconnaissance, mine warfare and electronic warfare.
The Sea Arrow class can conduct day and night coastal ore naval surveillance over long period of time without returning to port for refueling ore rearming due its autonomous nature and highly advance weapons and sensor packages which allows it to conduct these operations.
Fact file III
Wile the United States navy from 2004 received their first six Sea Arrows, the United States Coast Guard and United States Marine Corps where still waiting on their first AI control ships as changes had to be made to the United States Navy versions due it having different design then the US navy versions.
United States Coast Guard Sea Arrow version
The first United States Coast Guard sea arrow USV was delivered in April 17th 2006 and was named USCG Vigilant.
The different between the United States Coast Guard Sea Arrow version and the United States Navy Sea Arrow version is the removal of its weapons system and the adding of more surveillance equipment and it being used as a mother ship to one Bell Eagle Eye Vertical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
Currently the USCG Vigilant is the only Sea Arrow class unmanned surface vehicle in service with the United States Coast Guard as of 2006.
United States Coast Guard sea arrow vehicles are
USV-7 USCG Vigilant, currently used by the United States Coast Guard for patrolling outside Cuban territorial waters.
United States Marine Corps sea arrow version
Wile the United States Coast Guard Sea Arrow is mostly use as a surveillance platform and the United States Navy Sea Arrow version is used mostly for patrols the United States Marine Corps version is used as a closes support vehicle and is equipment with a automated howitzer as it main weapon.
Currently the United States Marine Corps has two Sea Arrows in service with one operating in support of the United States Marine Corps in Iraq and the other is based out of Naval Station Norfolk and is use by Naval Station Norfolk Sea Arrow project headquarters and the United States Marine Corps unmanned surface vehicle Laboratory for testing.
The United States Marine Corps Sea Arrow vehicles are
USV-8 USMC-USV 01, currently deployed in Iraq in support of the United States Marine Corps.
USV-9 USMC-USV 02, currently moored near Naval Station Norfolk Sea Arrow project headquarters where it is used by the Naval Station Norfolk Sea Arrow project headquarters and United States Marine Corps unmanned surface vehicle Laboratory for testing.
Fact file IV
The United States Navy Sea Arrow versions are designed to patrol and if needed to react to any situation that can arises and therefore are fitted with a diversity of weapons and surveillance equipment.
General characteristics of the United States navy sea arrow versions

1, shaft 41,000 horsepower
Speed: 30+ knots (exact maximum classified)
Range: 8,000 miles
Amour: Kevlar splinter protection surrounds the AI operating systems and vital areas on board.
Complement: none as it is a AI operated unmanned surface vehicle.
Armament 44 cell MK-41 Vertical Launch System (MK-41 located behind the sensor integrated mast).
8, RGM-84 Harpoon SSM located at each side.
1, ASROC (Anti-submarine Missile launcher)
1, 5 inch (127 mm/54 Mk-45 lightweight gun)
2, 20 mm Phalanx CIWS with one located fore the sensor integrated mast and one behind the Anti-submarine Missile launcher.
2, Mark 54 triple Torpedo tubes located at each side (6 x Mk-50 or Mk-54 torpedoes)
Aircraft carried, 4 hover drones ore one US navy version Bell Eagle Eye Vertical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
Sensors and processing systems, a sensor integrated mast which houses all sensor and surveillance equipment.
Sonar, one towed Array.
