Daily Mail: HMS Hi-tech, the warship of the future: Royal Navy's Dreadnought 2050 has space-age control room, 'see-through' hull and a crew of just 50

* Images have emerged of intimidating vessel, dubbed Dreadnought 2050, that could be the future of the Royal Navy
* The stunning vessel pushes today's engineering boundaries to the limits, with hulls that can make them invisible
* Engineers believe it could be crewed by 50 people, rather than the current 200, thanks to remote-control technology
* New-style operations room could allow commanders to focus on specific areas from up to thousands of miles away

Sleek and stealthy, it resembles something from Star Wars. In fact, this is what British warships could look like in as little as 35 years.

With RAF jets already being replaced by drones piloted by men sitting at computer screens many miles away, the Royal Navy is now investigating how technology will change the fleet.

The answer, it seems, could be a generation of largely remote-controlled seafaring beasts with ‘speed of light weapons’ and a hull that can make them invisible to the naked eye.
