Default is it a stealth

I know this is off the topic but thought it was pretty cool. Was headed to work when I saw this coming down the river, drove like a mad man to get in front of it and got these pics at a narrow part of the river coming under a draw bridge. Looks a little stealthy to me, did some research and did not find much except it has been spotted in the chesapeak bay area, is from the LCS class {landing craft series} possible radar platform with some stealth capabilities.

Looks like a stealth design to me. Pretty neat!

definitely stealth, the only issue with me is that stern wake isnt very stealthy. I'm betting sitting still she's invisible on radar.....maybe a recon prototype.

Hey , holy smoke !! I saw this same boat (or one just like it) heading south down the intracoastal waterway in charleston south carolina . I was in my 22 ft scout with my buddy and we came up behind it . When we got out of the no wake zone the boat took off . I was running 57mph and this boat was leaving me ! It throws one heck of a wake too. It was about 3 weeks ago when I saw it .
