A drone to the general public but about a month or so after a UCAS took off from a carrier, then did a touch and go on the carrier, the US Navy has landed a UCAS on the USS George H. W. Bush (CVN 77).
Carrier aircraft pilots are starting to check their pensions.

The Third Incarnation of the Point of Singularity
It should actually be a trivial exercise to successfully land these things on a carrier. Much more interesting is that the exercise to find an RPAS (UAS/UAV/Drone – take yer pick) for the U.S. Navy has been significantly de-scoped to a much less capable vehicle. One, incidentally incapable of delivering what human pilots do, despite the early success of the trials. Funny that.
