HMS Victory - Stealth Technology?
Evening all.
Interesting t-bar debate going on today which I though I'd share with the learned folk on here to see what your thoughts are! There's QWI's and Naval types I'm sure, so here we go!
There was an article on the radio about the ongoing restoration of HMS Victory, which led to the question, would something like an Exocet missile (older generation, radar guided) get a good enough radar return from Victory to be able to lock on to her?
Surely wood won't reflect RF as well as a metal ship would you'd think? So her cross sectional area would be small? If so then we obviously need to clad our entire navel fleet in railway sleepers!
Was stealth tech invented unknowingly all those years ago??
Look forward to hearing your thoughts!
