I know man, I’m just messing with you.
Haha...no.
Don't worry, I get to take my share of the fun too.
The main advantage of being sea-skimming is you’re over the radar horizon for a much smaller time, especially if you’re up against forces with only ship-based radars. You’re shielded by the curvature of the earth from detection till you’re quite close.
