Gr.Viper 131 Posted October 22, 2010 It's so stealthy they've lost their own position. Aside from attack capabilities, it is able to sit in waters off the coast undetected The "undedected" part didn't work that well, did it? This is all fly-by-wire technology including only an auto pilot rather than a steering column One wrong click and you're in Vladivostok instead of La Rochelle.
