I don't think so - I've read somewhere(I don't remember where) that it's been wrecked. But to be honest I'm not sure.
But surely it' a very strange vessel ... even former GDR navy members don't know much about it.

"Reede-Minenabwehr Boot" does not mean spy ship. And how do you want to spy anything with this inconspicuous vessel? Do you think they hoped, that nobody would see it?

But what I wanted to say is that we've seen the Norwegian Epic, the A-Yacht and this one before. It is annoying and boring to search the now 36 pages before posting, so this will of course happen again.

What's the matter, little boy - why don't you go to your mother and cry there?

I'm sorry that your mother died that young - and I really mean it - but it is no excuse for your rude behaviour.

This is an entirely opinion based topic. If you do not think something is ugly, Post something uglier please. Like this, Disney Wonder:

i have sailed ships that are alot worse than "Disney Wonder" on ship sim 2008

this one looks weird... a kinda spin off of the 19th century battleship

I think these new warships are ugly. I prefer the old WW2 battleships.

sorry i needed to say this,

the reason why they look at that is that their triangular shape makes it hard for radars to spot them as radars always looks for flat objects..
so in wars enemy radars will struggle to spot these type of ships due to their shape

the old battle ships had too many bunks and buildings stacked on top so the radar could immediatly spot that.. But these triangular ones arent

saltydog · « **Reply #893 on:** January 24, 2011, 17:22:28 »

Yes, some strange ways have been thought of to avoid radar detection, including the use of 'water-curtains'..

Yes I knew this. But it still looks silly!

And about the "radar invisibility", as you can see in my beautiful diagram, depending on were the radar is it may not work. Radar 1 the signal is deflected, thus making the ship inviable .But with Radar 2 the signal is at just the right angle, so the signal is deflected back to the transmitter so the ship will show up.
However it is true that this design has a smaller radar signature than older "boxer" battleships. With the old design the radar could be at any angle and the signal would almost certainly reflect off of something and return to the transmitter, but with the new design the radar has to be at the "right" angle to reflect.

NOTE: For radar to work the signal must return to the transmitter.
