"Stealth capabilities", and being designed from the keel up as a stealth ship are two different things. The RCS of this class compared to some current designs will be like comparing a bee to a BEE-52!

The 'Arleigh Burke' has some stealth shaping on its superstructure, as do a few european designs.

Even the good old 'Perry' class lends itself well to slinging a few upward or downward sloping carbon fibre panels over the side to reduce its RCS. The USN and RAN did this in the Gulf.

Good to see you're sticking around Spooky, despite the *grins*!
