According to a new Jane's article, the US Navy wants in on the UAV action that other branches of the military are exploring. Up until now, the bigest problem for the Navy in adopting a UAV has been the problem of recovering the craft after a mission. VTOL UAVs don't have enough range for naval missions and fixed wing craft have so far proven unable to make landings on carriers. New funding has been approved in 2002 to developed naval UAVs.
