    @Juan Contreras: THAT MOVIE IS GARBAGE.

    I just love how everyone at the same time becomes a ship builder engineer, a sea weapons expert, a thermal imaging expert, a water propulsion expert, expert of the Swedish naval warfare tactics. etc etc etc. 99% of all commenters havent even seen it irl, btw I have :)

    Looks like a modern stealthier version of dazzle camouflage.

    What would stop a giant Visigoth from lifting one out of the sea and using the pointy thing on the top to poke out the eyes of other giant Visigoths?

    "Their creation was an answer to the incursion of foreign submarines in Swedish waters in the mid-eighties."

    Swift, strong response. Expect the Swedes to be all over that Bosnian War problem sometime in the next five years.

    Yumpin' Yimminy! That thing would totally bork-bork-bork some pirates trying to steal their cukoo clocks, chocolate, Heidi merchandise, Army knives, and/or gold.


    Unless Gene Hackman was running the crew. Then the Swiss wouldn't stand a chance.


    Oh my, oh my. Go sell chocolates you Heidi-motherfuckers, go sell cukoo clocks, we got your gold!

    @269InchDiagonal_GitEmSteveDave:

    It's Sweden, not Switzerland. Sweden is the long Scandinavian country with alot of coastline. Sweden, famous for Ikea, Volvo, inventing dynamite, refrigerator, mobile phone (yes MTA was proper mobile phones long before Martin Cooper had a nifty little cell) and beautiful promiscious blondes. ;)

    We are also famous for our submarines. HMS Gotland is the only sub to have a confirmed kill of an American aircraft carrier, in simulated combat of course. We also make a pretty cool fighter plane, Gripen. The statistics from Red Flag Alaska 2005 is a sobering read for how it compares to American fighter planes.


    Switzerland is the country in the middle of Europe, with absolutely no coastline, famous for chocolate, banking, watches and fantastic ski slopes.

    Give me a real "invisible-to-the-naked-eye" type of vehicle.


    Now THAT would be STEALTH.

    "Corvettes with semi-naked blonde valkyries" did not make me think of ships, so I was kind of surprised at the pics.

    @nucwin83: Look for the NSFW EU electronics store commercial post from last week, if you missed it then, you won't be disappointed now...


    I can't recall the exact name of the post or the name of the store, can anyone help us out?

    @willy: It looks like they made the patterns and colors so it would fade into the water and horizon at some distance. I bet it's a kind of optical illusion thing - close up, it's like WTF, but at a distance, it camouflages into the sea.
