They'll keep working on the frequency of response characteristics until they get that down to near invisibility ~ and then it's all over for their enemies.

That topside is a pretty tough sell for anything resembling stealth.

Stealth depends on much more than coatings:

#1 Size, apertures, superstructure
#2 Shape
#3 Coatings, treatments

There are also many curious phenomena associated with the sea - temperature inversions, humidity layers all sorts of things that can make the results seem what they may not be.

Tests showed that a navy 50-tonne Seagull-class missile boat painted with the material was not spotted on a radar screen until it could be seen with the naked eye

I had a radar like that, once.

Now where is that guy with the carburetor that makes a V8 average a hundred miles to a gal.

A 171 tonne vessal with only four missiles? Something does not seem right.

PT109 would be proud.
