That's...kinda the point of camoflage. To make things "disappear."


And about the whole "not detecting it on sonar," well, a boat with it's engine(s) off dosen't make much noise... If you look closely, there is not the slightest sign of a stern wake from the boat, and it's not that uncommon for a skipper to shut down the engines when stopped for a bit. In fact, it's been done on every fishing boat I've been on.

Just my opinion.
