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.
