Media droning on again...

It seems that the media are calling remote control, or autonomous, submarines "drones".

MH370: Underwater drone to aid search for missing plane | World news | theguardian.com

BBC News - Missing flight MH370: Robotic submarine to begin search

Search chief Angus Houston said the Bluefin-21 drone would be sent down as soon as possible to search for wreckage on the sea floor.
So the target towing DH Queen Bee aircraft of the 1930/40s - nicknamed 'the drone' - is now responsible for the naming of robotic submarines! I wonder what this means for the sandalista within DroneWarsUK, who seem to think that they're all evil killing amchines about to inherit the earth?
