That's a frigate?! Looks more like a corvette, and a small one at that. Maybe closer to one of Commonn, you know better! mosquito boats. Anyone know the max speed on that thing?

it is a frigate. its 140m long.
the construction optimizes its stealth abilities..so maybe it just looks smaller


@alex
maybe they used the AIP engine. I think its better to inform yourself about details. I just can repeat what ive been told.
