What is the speed?

the slaves brought down a stealth bomber???

the Sea Shadow's flank speed was about 14 knots.. (I took a tour of her when she was in San Diego when my ship the USS Momsen DDG 92 was on the same pier as she was)

Now, here comes new enemy radars to counter these ships.

that is fucking terrifying XD
SEA Shadow was basically an experimental stealth ship built by Lockheed for US navy just for testing purpose.The ship was built in 1984 mainly to determine how a long range radar profile might be achieved and to test the stability hull configurations and examine stealth technology on naval vessels. Sea Shadow had a Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull design .The twin hulls were submerged into water each with propeller,aft stabilizer and inboard hydrofoil to ensures the proper working.The portion of ship that is on the surface of the water was connected to the hulls via the two angles struts. The Special SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) design helped the ship to stay even in very rough and unstable water or in the sea state with 18-20 meters high waves. The super fast Sea Shadow had only 12 bunks aboard,one small microwave oven,a refrigerator and table. Actually the Sea shadow was made to examine the stealth technology on naval vessels and after the testing it was dismantled in 2012 by Bay ship as US navy sold it because of lack of interest.
