where did you get that pic?

Quite a few of the goggle images are obviously shopped (or similar), however, I find it very difficult to decide on the one in the first post. The surfaces / colours (especially the windows on the bridge) are "too smooth", lines are too clear and some items don't look quite right - the yellow supports and green 'deck' underneath, the flag on the bow, lack of shadows and the "absurdity" of the gun.

On the realism side, I don't imagine someone shopping an image like this, the rear deck has work in progress and you can see the rope connect the flag at the bow.

Right click on the link / image and "show properties"

First one is totally PS'd. Shadows are all wrong (if there even ARE any), yellow things are wrong, looks way to big for its surroundings and it's bow is at a wrong angle.

Blatantly photoshop'd imo.

Originally thought it looked fake, but after looking at the other photos...

Considering its a stealth ship I wouldn't be surprised if it looks weird and angular.

Whats the deal with the funny angles on the paintwork though? Its not stealth paintwork is it?

Bah bloody weapons of MURDER!!

It well might be a stealthy paintwork, however the idea behind the shapes and colours on the paintwork is too make it less visible and less identifiable (difficult to get a good silhouette under poor conditions). Ice, rocks and islands in the Baltic would further compound problems.

The first one looks like a childs toy remote control boat. Must be shopped?

Concatenator · 05-07-2003 12:03pm

Its real! These things are made in Sweden. They are stealth boats. Ya heard meh.

jammy_dodger · 05-07-2003 7:40pm

what about this?

THB Looks like some Dude getting severly stoned in his room.

but not shopped

Crash · 06-07-2003 12:23am

Tbh i think shopped. Asok is simply a figment of Doodee's imagination IMO

It's shopped. Joint or cigarette smoke is DAMN hard to capture well on an average camera. And the smoke is too boxed in... I dunno. It just looks odd.

Gordon · 06-07-2003 10:25am

Not shopped - a mate took a picture when he was smoking a cigarette and it looked exactly like that.

phear my wisdom etc etc

It's not shopped. It's camo used to disguise the boat.

As far as I remember that is a new kind of stealth boat (although the other stealth boat I saw was more like a submarine and might be US made).

A quick check and it is in fact a Swedish YS2000 Stealth corvette.

They aren't the only country to have a stealth boat.
