Cloak of Silence - Stealth tech not for aircraft, but for submarines this time around
Brought to you by the great inventors of the world - America. You know we are in your backyard, but good luck knowing exactly where!

The technology needs another three to five years before a "practical structure" can be developed for wide-scale testing.
If its all what it claims to be and it is seeing the light of day now I suspect it is already in use. |

The Klingons have been using this technology for years
On a serious note: Unless overcome, the giveaway will be when opening hatches etc. prior to an offensive weapon/missile launch.

I think I'd be bothered if I was on a Boomer and suspected a Hunter Killer was nearby listening out for me

Me too! I believe they still play those cat and mouse games these day.

I rather suspect Asia had a hand in bringing us Mr Fang, Shu Zhang and Leilei Yin's invention as well. Even if only a genealogical hand.

In the other direction, they might spend 20 years trying to chase this wild goose down. Somewhere at the 5 year mark, someone will decide this wouldn't work. By 10 years those voices will become audible. About 20 the developers give up.

From 2273 I think, let me check my Klingon history book.
I liked this comments from the news site: "Several submarines have collided in the past but with this new tech it'll be double the fun. " And this one: "If a two subs collide in the ocean and no one survives to hear it, does it make a sound? If both are cloaked in silence, I guess not. If one of those two subs carries a nuclear warhead, then I'd say, sure, everyone will hear it!" |

A little off topic but this is what always bothered me about the movie Hunt for Red October.
Here the russians spent millions of dollars and thousands of man hours on a super secret 'stealth' propulsion system "undectectable" yet a seaman figures out how to track it within a few hours using the gear they already had on the boat.
