The missile's viewpoint
It will be interesting to see how effective Daring's stealth features are. I have my doubts. The link below shows just how big the RCS of the current generation of frigates is compared to merchant vessels. No wonder they make such good targets.

Here
Not sure what Frigate that is talking about but it isn't a Royal Naval one ( 103 M and only 2000 T ??? Far too small) Take it from me that the RCS of a T 23 is a lot smaller than the one suggested in that table.


Having another look at the table it has to be taling about USN Frigates as it talks about the RCS on the Bow and on the "Broadside"...whatever the broadside is..(I assume they mean the beam)
