Anybody else catch the video clip of a stealth boat leaving port on WESH channel 2 news at 6 on Wednsday 12 September?

It stealthily dissapeared. No more broadcast, zip on their website. I was going to try to give it a better look and try to figure out what it was, but it's gone.

Wonder if they got a phonecall?

40 foot or so, gray, low profile , fully enclosed except for windscreen, round radar domes half showing from the roof. Big rooster. Looked stealthy and fast. Nothing I can find on the web looks close.

Coming out of the sub base at Port Canaveral.

Weird.

Was it a catamaran style ship?

I saw her in Norfolk about 3 years ago...

Similar, but longer, and higher sides that extended all the way to the rear. No visable entry point.

I had it on my DVR, but when I go back to see what it was, the screen now goes black when I get to that part.  I must have a broken DVR.

Was it the "stealth boat"?  That was sold for scrap

SEALION II maybe?



This thing is close to 70' in length.

WINNER!

News reported 40 foot, I'm shocked that they got it wrong...

Hard to reference by video.

Yep that boat showed up for one broadcast, then dissapeared.

My medic just pointed out to me that the boat was here while Obama was in the County, and left right after he did.

If you'd pissed off as many people as Obama has you'd bring backup by land sea and air too!

At most I can get maybe 5-7 people pissed off at me at a time, he has at least half a nation.

I believe that is the SEALion

I believe it has a drop down ramp in the back for access. If not these, they were building extremely similar boats in WA right next to where I was working. They didn't like you even staring at them for too long before asking if they could help you with something. I am on day 3 of living in FL, I haven't updated my profile yet, so it still says AK.

Access hatch is just aft of the cockpit.

I don't see any rod holders OR outriggers

That would sure be hard to see out at sea.
