| Stealth Yachts?
According to this article, something that looks stealthy, about 70 feet long, is out there. http://www.newhousenews.com/archive/francis072505.html
Interesting.  |

Interesting indeed! 
Sounds like the plot of a new Clive Cussler novel in the making

Didn't he already use a military stealth boat? I'm pretty sure there was one in Sahara... the book I mean, not the movie. Caliope wasn't Sandecker's private toy in the book.

So did MGM/UA "borrow" the Lockhead for the Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies"?

I read this book years ago, and since the film i have started reading it again. The boat isn't a stealth boat, it is just an incredbile sleek motor yacht with all hidden gismos and gadgets and the odd missle launcher!
Great books

Ah, k. It's been ages since I last read Sahara myself... prolly around the time it was first published in hardcover. I've been reading CC's books since grade 9 when I read Dragon for the first time when it was first released. Then I went back and read all the books up to that point, then read Dragon again... then continued with the books as they got published since that time. It always seems like it's far too long between. LOL I also read all the off-shoot books, and the compendium as well of course.
