Visby (corvette)

Visby is a Swedish Navy class of corvettes named after the city of Visby. The class has received widespread international attention because of its stealth capabilities and network centric design. It is due to enter service in January 2005.

It is made from carbon fibre, and its angular design reduces its radar signature (cross-section). Its 57mm cannon can be retracted to further reduce its radar cross section.
