And still a thing with the Swedish, though in a different format.

When we still had destroyers and cruisers they got camouflaged like that as well.
There were prepared anchorages with eyebolts up on the cliffs to attach the camo-nets to.
I believe this is a Swedish missile boat

To my untrained eye as far as boats are concerned it looks like a CB90.

Awesome boats :+1: :smiley:
Check them on YouTube.

40 knots to full stop in 35 m (102 feet).
(74 km/h or 46 mph to full stop in 35 meters or 102 feet, equivalent to the stopping distance for a car at that speed (from brake pedal to full stop))

I have already. Make great recreational boats. Scaring fishermen on the shore/coast. My dream is to build a US Navy CB90, but 3D conversion parts on Shapeways are too expensive for me. :unamused:

That would certainly explain supposed vehicles in India sporting African elephants. That didn’t make sense to me from the beginning.
