U.S. Navy's Sea Shadow. The stealth ship, which served as an inspiration for the supervillain's supervessel in the James Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies," is set to serve the Royal Malaysian Navy.
These vessels are designed for a variety of different missions, including escort, patrols, reconnaissance, and front-line combat duty.
HEAVY MISSILE LAUNCHERS : To back up the heavy lasers the Sea Shadow's are also armed with twenty heavy missile launcher tubes that launch ICBM-like missiles at enemy ships. The missile tubes resemble torpedo launchers and are mounted alongside the hidden main laser cannons on each side of the ship. The launchers contain long-range nuclear or reflex missiles and are usually used only during assaults and heavy combat.
