Invisible Visby puts out to sea. (Digest).


The stealthy Visby corvette put to sea on her maiden voyage late last year on the first leg of her engineering trials under the shipbuilder Kockurns' supervision. The carbon fibre vessel is to undergo fine-tuning of her engines, steering and control systems prior to embarking on more advanced sea trials. The introduction of the Visby's stealth technology has garnered global interest, therefore Kockums is presently developing an export version. Currently, Kockums has five vessels on order with an option for a sixth.
