Hopefully, Ukraine can continue to pound the Russian navy, as well as targets in Crimea. The morale on the Russian side has to take a huge hit when these vessels are destroyed (and of course fewer missiles etc will land on Ukrainians as a result).But I'm wondering if U.S. military leaders are paying attention to how vulnerable its own fleet may be to attacks from comparatively tiny drones and far less-resourced adversaries. Like in a naval conflict with a country that pretty much makes ALL the drones.

@briankrebs Wasn't there a wargame within the US Navy, in which the people, playing Iranian pasdaran forces, managed to destroy half a US fleet in the Gulf with nothing more than fast boats?Ah yes, here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Challenge_2002"The rule changes following the restart led to accusations that the war game had turned from an honest, open, free playtest of U.S. war-fighting capabilities into a rigidly controlled and scripted exercise intended to end in an overwhelming U.S. victory".
