Disclosed is a communication network for aquatic vessels. The network comprises an unmanned aquatic vehicle (UAQV) having a warhead. A fiber optic cable is bi-directional and in a closed ring configuration enabling communication within the network and to the UAQV. A power grid cable is in a closed ring configuration and coupled to a generator providing power. A node is coupled to the fiber optic cable and to the power grid cable. A relay station is coupled to the node and in communication with the UAQV. A control center is in communication with the UAQV and facilitates remote control of the UAQV, and programming of a navigational plan for the remote control of the UAQV prior to launch. The fiber optic cable, power grid cable, node and relay station are capable of being located underwater during operation. The UAQV is capable of being launched underwater from open water.
