Stealthy Maybe, Invisable - I think not.

Only the Romulans and the Klingons can make things go invisible, and as fifty people have screamed at me earlier, STAR TREK IS NOT REAL!!!
Ofcourse, I don't live in a country that holds conventions ;)

What do full color slaes brochures for invisible boats look like? Is it possible to get the graphics wrong?

Maybe I'm concerned about the wrong things here.

I rode in one of these a few years ago. The performance is pretty impressive. They can turn on a dime which if you have every been in a boat is pretty cool. The navigation package is pretty sweet also. Of course the only true stealth ship is a sub its RCS is zero.

Some here may recall the Norwegian "Nasty Boats" from the 60s. They seem to be a step ahead. Or is it a wave ahead?

If it doesn't show up on radar at night....that's enough.

Get a little ways off and the color pattern would blend in. White boats are stealthy to large vessels especially along the California coast. White looks like the white caps of the waves and with their size they are lost to radar in the sea clutter. Throw in a little fog and you have a navigators nightmare.

There has never been a ship built that does not show up on radar. The best you can do is reduce the signature, but with a catamaran hull you have a LARGE built in radar reflector under the bow.

Welcome to the 21st Century. You will notice opon arrival that our armed forces no longer rely on spotters in the crows nest but no use this special thing called RADAR. You may also like our TOASTERS - they save a lot bread from the fireplace.
