I don't know if the poor sea-faring capabilities is true.

Not according to the Navy article on the ship. Jinian 14:06, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Confederates

Looks like the Confederates had it right when the built the CSS Virginia. User:Valento

Not really. They didn't have radar back then. The purpose of the Confederate design was more to deflect incoming artillery. Amatulic 17:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I worked on this project

In the early 1980s I worked on the design of this ship. It was known to be very stable in the water AND virtually invisible.

It was great fun - there were many restaurants in the area that were off-limits to us. The engineering work was spread out over several northern California locations.

I was so surprised to see its picture released in the mid 90's 12.215.86.179 08:24, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Linda E
