Just curious. In this day of laser/video guided missiles, audio and
magnetic sensors, etc., I'm wondering how important radar stealth is in a
ship? I can understand it's need in a plane traveling at 500 knots, but a
ship traveling a tenth of that? What am I missing?


Could make a difference between a miss and hit, when you're talking
about terminal guidance of missiles in an environment heavy with
electronic warfare measures.

Also it helps in any operation to be a little bit harder for an enemy to
see & pinpoint you. The question is, can a big enough advantage be
gained to be worth the money & effort?
