IMHO there is a discussion to be made that the ongoing "drone wars" show the little guy can be a difficult enemy:
 
1- too expensive to defeat the drones with existing high-end defensive weapons
2- easy to expand the battlespace to friends of your enemy in the neighborhood
3- more capability (quantity) for your buck
4- shorter supply chain from OEM, faster change orders
5- innovate and upgrade on the front line

This is so stupid, it is beyond belief. Its all because the RN can’t man it ships. Samuel Pepys, Admirals Nelson, Collingwood, Cunninham, Hood, Jellicoe, Beatty and a host of others including Winston Churchill are rolling in their graves.
