Comment on Ghost: Stealth Attack Hydrofoil Uses Supercavitationparent

Yeah too bad these stealth designs work like ass against WWII era long wave radar. Sure, you can't use long wave for targeting, but something this big sitting so high out of the water seems easy to hit with a shoulder fired rocket. It seems like these super high tech ships and aircraft exist mostly to create jobs in various congressional districts. Then the get sold on the mythology of a cold war nightmare scenario that never happened.

oh well. at least we're safe from COBRA.

"Hinges allow the struts to move up and down like wings. While parked, or traveling through shallow waters, they can be extended to the side."

Maybe you missed this while scanning the article. This would allow the boat to sit high or low on the water; reminds me of the citroen cx which had high adjustable suspension.
