More on the Swedish Stealth Ship

Dr.Knackerator writes "The BBC is running a story on Sweden's new carbon fibre stealth ship, the Visby. As well as being the first stealth ship, it is controlled by 'state-of-the-art computers using a Windows NT operating system'. 'But Kockums and the Swedish Navy deny it could be sabotaged by hackers and say that even if it did they could fall back to traditional steering and navigation'." We had a previous story about this as well.

Well, it's funny if one's ignorant concept of Sweden is the Swedish Chef and porn.

If one knows even a little bit of history, however, the only appropriate mod is "dumbass".

The Visby corvette is going to be in active service in the swedish navy.

I thought I post a small correction here: Sweden being a neutral country (spared them in WWII), doesn't have a need for large/modern army/defense. However, their military manufacturing makes a decent chunk of their economy. They export most of the goods, and if the stuff is modern enough there will be lot of buyers.

Want to know about "no sense of humour?"
