How stealthy is Navy's new destroyer? It needs reflectors - U.S. - Stripes
The Navy destroyer is designed to look like a much smaller vessel on radar, and it lived up to its billing during recent builder trials.Lawrence Pye, a lobsterman, told The Associated Press that on his radar screen the 610-foot ship looked like a 40- to 50-foot fishing boat. He watched as the behemoth came within a half-mile while returning to shipbuilder Bath Iron Works.
"It's pretty mammoth when it's that close to you," Pye said.
Despite its size, the warship is 50 times harder to detect than current destroyers thanks to its angular shape and other design features, and its stealth could improve even more once testing equipment is removed, said Capt. James Downey, program manager.
