Sea Power News

Hello everyone! It's been nearly a year since our last survey, where we set out priorities and got to work. While we have not been able to deliver on all of them as quickly as we wish, we plan to release the first iteration of AI upgrades in the very near future. In the meantime though, we would like to host our first AMA to see what all of your questions are about the future and current state of Sea Power. Feel free to submit your questions here!
