Northrop-Grumman X-47B Takes Seaborne Catapult

Once upon a time the Navy had adopted a slogan "From the Sea".  The message was that it didn't matter where the target was because somewhere at sea is a presence close enough for today's Navy to reach out and touch it.  That has just gotten a little more true.  Not only can they reach you, but if the X-47 lives up to expectations, you likely won't ever know it unless they want you to.
