US Navy to test Norwegian stealth vessels Norway Post The US elite force Navy Seals has shown considerable interest in the Norwegian high speed patrol boats of the "Skjold" class, built with stealth technology, Aftenposten reports. The stealth technology makes the vessels difficult to detect by radar. The US Navy had one patrol boat on loan for a year for test purposes, and the Norwegian Umoe Mandal Yard has now entered into a contract with the Navy Seals for a further study and evaluation of the suitability of the new patrol boats for US purposes. The Norwegian Navy has already ordered six of the high speed patrol boats, the last to be delivered by 2008. Umoe Yard CEO, Peter Klemsdal, says that if the tests should result in a contract with it the US Navy, it may be necessary to find a US partner for the project. Rolleiv Solholm
