隐身技术,包括特殊的外形、能吸收雷达回波的材料和其它技术,原先是为F-117、B-2和F-22那样的飞机平台开发的。在“沙漠风暴”作战期间,F-117的作战经验令人信服地证明,隐身技术的确具有无法估价的战术优点。但是,任何一种隐身技术都有其局限性。就隐身战舰来说,无线电通信就是一个非常突出的薄弱环节,因为它的电磁辐射很容易被探测。 Stealth technology, including special shapes, materials that absorb radar echoes, and other technologies were originally developed for aircraft platforms such as the F-117, B-2 and F-22. During Desert Storm operations, the F-117’s combat experience convincingly demonstrated that stealth technology does have invaluable tactical advantages. However, any kind of stealth technology has its limitations. As far as stealth battleships are concerned, radiocommunication is a very prominent weakness because its electromagnetic radiation can be easily detected.
