- water filtration/desalination
- Maybe in the future they could use fusion reactors for power, synthesizing Deuterium and/or Tritium to enhance their endurance (maybe indefinitely?)
- make the carrier (with minimal crew) and the planes into drones (AFAIK already in research/testing) since even if the material could be at sea forever the people could not endure and also many probably wouldn't sign up for such a job
- yencabulator 5y ago> - water filtration/desalination My understanding is the submarines have been doing that for a very, very long time. No challenge there. Here's a random article from 2008 saying "decades": https://www.eastvalleytribune.com/opinion/nuclear-desalination-isn-t-a-wild-idea-subs-have-been-doing-it-for-decades/article_764caf0d-b2e4-580b-a0d8-315627124103.html https://www.eastvalleytribune.com/opinion/nuclear-desalinati...
- diggernet 5y agoAll subs and surface ships, literally since the very first nuclear powered vessel. Because all they did was switch to a different heat source for the desalination that ships had been doing for decades before that.
