IMO, since it wasn't actually completed, you should leave it without a roundel.. After all, Grunder Industries could have been maing it for Osea, Belka, or even Yuktobania.

Alright, this is not the original Sea Shadow. This is a upgrade version. So i change the main image.
Take a look the cabin variation. And the entire long. Is most bigger than the real one.

Yea, this ship is much larger than the Sea Shadow...its classified as a destroyer in game.
Aggressiveness was a fundamental to success in air-to-air combat and if you ever caught a fighter pilot in a defensive mood you had him licked before you started shooting.

It IS the ship from the James Bond movie

Uh, not really Heinkel. The Stealth Ship from Tomorrow Never Dies was simliar to the Sea Shadow, but it certainly was not a Sea Shadow. And if you need proof, the movie ship had large pontoons, while Sea Shadow does not. The movie ship is also armed and much larger.

The "MOVIE" ship is also a mockup. Not to scale either. and the REAL Sea Shadow DOES have pontoons... This is the reason the ship is able to float. This also make is a very stable platform.

It appears as "DESTROYER" when targeted in Mission 27-Aces from AC5. I dunno about the IRL, though.

IRL it was a stealth technology demonstrator, intended to show that F-117 type stealth could be applied to things other than planes. they tried to sell the desing to the navy as a air defense Frigate. the idea being that since it was practically invisible to enemy radar, it could range ahead of a carrier group or task force, and engage enemy planes with SAM's and enemy ships with anti-shipping missiles, all without the enemy ever getting a chance to shoot back.

the navy wasn't interested, due to a combination of cost (very expensive, with lots of special materials), secrecy (stealth was still deep black tech..the headaches of building the ships and operating them without the secret of their stealth getting out was an issue), and office politics (the sea shadow was so automated that you only needed a dozen people to run the ship...a conventional ship of the same size and role would have hundreds of people. and with it's secrecy, the captains and higher officers in charge wouldn't be able to claim it as experiance towards promotion easily.. all branches of the military have a fetish about being in charge of large numbers of people being a good way to look important.)
