I understand that nothing is completely invisible, it is just harder to detect.
So far, yes.

There's been some work being done on the visible spectrum for some time, with the usual mixed results. When the USN can "cloak" a carrier ... I'd say the tech is mature. Not there yet, eh?

Manipulation of visual spectrum seems to be like fusion powered reactors:

being the party line for about fifty years ...
