  I watched a program on this boat, years ago.<br>I&apos;m glad they won against the U.S..<br>You didn&apos;t mention that the Navy tried to strong arm them into signing away the technology. They said No. So the Navy canceled the contract.<br>It sat outside for a long time.<br>I&apos;m glad to hear it&apos;s being revived.

  The book Skunk Works describes the Sea Shadow stealth ship that Lockheed tried to sell the US Navy. &nbsp;The Navy didn’t want it, there was no paint locker, the crew was small, there was no prestige in commanding one.

  To me, this feels like the perfect Navy Seal vessel to me. <br><br>From the stories described to me by former Navy Seals, of needing to be so stealthy that not even our own military knows they are there, to the obvious need to stealthily invading past enemy lines. It has very clear designs that would aid the Seals in their objectives considerably.

  Looks a lot like a smaller, slightly updated, version on Lockheed’s Sea Shadow built some 40 years ago.

  The Ghost looks like a glorified captain&apos;s yacht for much larger warships.

  With its variable wing configuration, this thing is most reminiscent of a Klingon Bird of Prey. Just needs a long neck.

  &quot;Unlike anything you&apos;ve ever seen or heard of before.&quot; Yeah...if you&apos;ve never seen James Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies.

  Love that the &quot;Ghost&quot; font on the hull is the GI Joe font.
