Interesting design indeed.

But the question remains, can it hunt the Red October?

Sweden also have fully operational AIP diesel subs that the USN can`t detect

What about the Sea Shadow?

what about sea shadow ?

it was a test bed - NOT an operational vessel

but enouth of that - i suspect that the norweigans might take umbrage at the claim ` first operational stealth warship ` - they have skjold`s in service

even the fooking surrender monkeys have a stealth ship

the visby SEEMS to be the most advanced - but its not the first by any means

Sorry to burst anybody's bubble BUT there is nothing 'stealthy' about a bow or stern wave and the plancton or bacteria that luminesces in them.

A high flying recon aircraft or ReconSat can and do see these ships most of the time.

How do you guys think the great sea battles of the Pacific were fought during WWII?

the only problem with a RORSAT is that at best a CBG is 30 miles in diameter with a wake trail of about 10 miles - the ocean is a big damn place and even CBG`s can be lost
