Is it comparable to Sweden's Visby class stealth corvette?

That one actually looks pretty nice. Obviously US designers have a keener sense of style than the British ones.

Ah, BAE shamelessly throwing facts to the side in favor of advertising.When she enters service later this decade she will be the world’s most advanced anti-air warfare destroyer.
We shall see I guess, Having spent a month off off the Hebridies with the HMS Invincible, York, and various French/German frigates this past May I have absolutely no confidence in their anti-air abilities (not the people, but the equipment). Not only did we see every target before they did, we engaged and killed them before they saw any of them. FOSNI had to actually tell us to turn off our radars for a day so that the Brits could get some practice before their deployment.
It looks to me like the German Sachen-class is far superior to this vessel. Though they have the same problem all navies trying to implement phased array technologies have right now (ie Spanish, Chinese, Japanese), which is they lack the 20+ years the US has learning and updating them, and when we sell the tech we don't give the manuels
I am very impressed witht the new Meko classes coming out, which Singapore will be getting soon, very well rounded.
As far as I can tell they only claim to modern this thing has is that is a newer hull, and that is about it. What good is a mission specific destroyer?"The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

The funny thing is that everyone either not has noticed or just ignored the fact that this particular baby is on it's last voyage and actually are a piece of scrap metal.Originally posted by Dis

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

my last ship I was stationed on is also a piece of scrap metal... on the bottom of the ocean floor off the coast of North Carolina.Comment

Buddy, a Littoral Combat Ship could stomp a Visby, which is nothing more than a glorified patrol boat. (Well, so is the LCS...but better)Originally posted by VetLegion
