Sea Shadow

Characteristic

Power Plant Diesel electric

Available Design Details SWATH (Small Water Plane Area Twin Hull)

Length, 164 feet;

Beam, 68 feet;

Draft, 14.5 feet;

Displacement, 560 tons;

Crew, 10

Purpose Technology demonstration platform

Status Reactivated in 1999 as a DD-21 technology test platform

Start Date Early 1980s

Terminal Date Placed in dry dock in 1994, reactivated 1999

 

Sea Shadow focused on evaluating stealth technology on surface vessels. It also

served as a platform for the integration and evaluation of other new technologies,

including ship control systems, structures, automation for reduced manning, sea keeping,

and signature control.7 The focus on stealth technology made Sea Shadow a highly

classified program managed by DARPA, the Navy, and Lockheed Martin Missiles and

Space Company.

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

 

I had this sitting in dry dock and decided to arm and release it.

 

 

This version represents a "What if" of the advancement of the technology.

Full remote control! (Once given appropriate orders in the ME...:music_whistling:)

 

 

 

She is armed with guns for close in defense,

 

 

Seasparrow and Harpoon weapon systems for all other threats.

 

 

And no......There is no real stealth ability.....

We need to wait for ED.........

 

 

But she can kick some serious butt! :D

 

 

Please note, I am currently stuck in 1.5.

As such this ship has only been test in this DCS version.

But it should work just fine in 2.5

The weapons are my only concern.

 

 

 

If there are any issues, Let me know and I can make adjustments and corrections.

 

 

 

Enjoy!

"Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."
