Should a Baltic corvette prioritise stealth?
Short answerUse some stealth, but pair it with substantial electronic countermeasures rather than relying on low observability alone.
NotesShip stealth becomes a one-trick answer when designers rely on it alone. A Baltic combatant still benefits from lowering signatures in crowded littoral waters, combined with a stronger electronic-countermeasures suite. The mixed approach lets the ship complicate detection while also deceiving, disrupting, or degrading the systems trying to target it.
