Summary

The Sea Shadow IX-529, developed by the U.S. Navy, is a vessel shrouded in mystery and innovation. Built in 1985 by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Lockheed Martin, the ship was a cutting-edge experiment in naval stealth technology. Sea Shadow was designed to test the viability of stealth features on water, borrowing concepts initially explored in aviation stealth. With its dark, angular appearance, this 160-foot craft had a distinctive shape that minimized its radar signature, similar to stealth aircraft. The hull’s unique, angular structure used radar-absorbing materials to help reduce detectability, setting Sea Shadow apart as a landmark in naval design and technology.
