[Scan-DC] Stealth Warship in the Bay

[John Bacon]

It's white not black any reason why. Why not blue to blend in with the water
a bit more.

This is a weird one.

What can only be described as a stealth PT boat has just gone past my 
house and is now near the radar testing range of the Navy Research 
Lab at Chesapeake Beach.  It's about 150 feet long, and probably not 
more than 8 feet high (the cockpit looks like one of those high speed 
racing boats).  It's about 2000 yards offshore and is pretty hard to 
see.  It's doing 90 degree turns to give different profiles to the 
radars.

Yes, I did get a picture of it.  It's a bit far off though.  I used 
my film camera to get a better one (bigger lens) but this digital 
posted here will have to do for now until I get that developed.
