I thought that was the DD-X/21. They look ugly


Oh, and do they have ghosts on them? They ARE called ghost ships, now.:)

I wonder what they look like through a periscope?

Cant detect what you cant see no but you can detect what you can hear i bet them visbys show up on sonar pretty good.

"You can't attack what you can't pick up on radar"

I dunno about that. Navys managed to attack things quite effectively before radar was invented and now with sonar, thermal imaging, satellites and various other high tech gizmos i'd imagine they'll manage overcome the obstacle.
