24 seconds I lasted, which is 36 seconds of normal time I suppose.

Is the sea drone any actual use then or what?

the general idea was:
Ukraine's making sea drones, these yokes are cheap and can be cranked out quickly. You only need to take out a small number of naval assets to make a navy really hurt. This applies to Russia / Ukraine at the moment, but we should expect the situation to be generalized later. Eg, container ships / other navies, all of these could gain the attentions of random punters, and be potentially quite damaging.
