Britain orders 13 new super stealth cruisers for Royal Navy

The vessels, understood to be part of a previously undisclosed maritime capability initiative, will reportedly incorporate an advanced low-observability architecture designed to significantly reduce their detectability across multiple domains.

While detailed specifications remain limited, the design is expected to prioritise signature management to an unprecedented degree. This is believed to extend beyond radar cross-section reduction to include infrared, acoustic, and potentially even visual spectrum considerations. As a result, observers may find it difficult to clearly determine the ships’ outline, position, or, in some cases, whether they are present at all.

In at least one case, a scheduled visit to a naval base reportedly included a briefing on the vessels, followed by a tour of an entirely empty berth. Attendees were assured the lead ship was present, though none could independently confirm this. One remarked that the programme appeared to have “achieved a level of discretion not previously thought possible”.

Defence analysts have begun to question whether the programme represents a genuine procurement effort or something more conceptual. One noted that a warship which cannot be seen, tracked, located, or verified in any way “does solve survivability concerns,” but conceded it also introduces “new challenges, such as confirming it exists.”

Bah, humbug. Even with complete visual stealth, any vessel would still be easily detectable by its hull impression in the water. Next...

John Carpenter, eat your heart out.

It won’t work for the blood test scene…he bit the balls off.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a confession to make….all footage of Artemis II is fake.

Here is the actual launch vehicle:

Well hello there Robin, I have to ask - do you currently actually fulfill the role of a bona fide dedicated human cat servant? Because your care free happy go lucky attitude towards the various and sundry duties of a true feline steward seems to indicate otherwise...

Phooey....if you have to explain a joke.... omitting that last line was crucial.

The fleet doesn't exist, which also means this fleet cannot be destroyed, right?:) Undoubtedly, as the inventors of tanks and aircraft carriers, the British have once again brought disruptive innovation to world naval development—a fleet that is truly indestructible!
