Or getting your navy hacked and under someone else’s control.
Any remotelink is vulnerable to jamming attacks, but those aren't novel issues.
There are many ways to mitigate and bypass the jamming attacks, including operating different control links, or multiple different bands, hopping, etc.
This is also where "AI" or advanced algorithms might come in, and enable the platform to continue on to its objectives unaided, or initiate some sort of failsafe to regain communication links, etc.
On a somewhat related note, this is similar to why 6th gen aircraft will include stealthy manned platforms, that are in close proximity to command and control various drone wingman platforms, as opposed to being remotely piloted from a Nevada Airbase.
