According to this article, something that looks stealthy, about 70 feet long, is out there. http://www.newhousenews.com/archive/francis072505.html Interesting.
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.
No they borrow the design.... I think it have inspirated some others too..... Here is the "Tomorrow Never Dies" Stealth..
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.
Austal apparently have an order from the U.S Navy for a few stealth naval vessels. Not sure what the deatils are though.
Spooky! I started on Dragon too! and have worked my way up and down the list, still not read them all yet though!
US NAVY DDX THE US NAVY IS BUILDING A NEW SHIP. IT IS NOT A STEALTH SHIP BUT THE DESIGN HAS LRCS (low radar cross section) check it out
She's for sale now. Opening bid of $10,000 Remember, it cost $195MM to build her. You will however take her away in pieces. DARPA puts its $195 million Tomorrow Never Dies stealth ship on the scrap market | Space, Military and Medicine | News.com.au
Rather, in "basic material" Well, I guess, if the dang thing could've had any conceivable use, or at least be able to hold a proper master's for the evergreen "showoff" one... someone rich enough would've built himself a copy already. 80's "high tech" is chinese monkey assembly now Wonder why they didn't put it into some kind of museum or something, like that Blackbird bird.
