A ship hull includes at least one float () and a center of buoyancy (CB) situated behind the center of flotation. (CF), the distance between the center of buoyancy and center of flotation is greater by 5% than the waterline length L of the hull.

Ship hull comprising at least one float

The invention relates to an armed stealth surface vessel () comprising a hull (), a deck () and superstructures (). The inventive vessel is equipped with sensors, transmitters, arms and, optionally, handling means. The invention is characterized in that the outer casing () of the deadworks comprises walls which are all inclined inwards such that the outer faces thereof are oriented upwards and form an angle that is greater than or equal to 20&#xb0; with the vertical at least above a line located 5 m above the waterline and, along at least 50% of the length of the vessel, above a line located less than one meter above the waterline. The invention is also characterized in that that the essentially-vertical joint lines between two adjacent walls are inclined inwards and form an angle of more than 20&#xb0; with the vertical. The invention is further characterized in that the sensors and transmitters, the arms and the handling means are concealed or can be concealed in or under the outer casing of the deadworks.

Stealth armed surface ship

Ship () of the type comprising a control bridge () with a direct view of the ship's environment, and an operations control room () receiving information in real time on the situation of the environment of the ship, prepared by analysis means () for analysing the environment of the ship, of which the operations control room () comprises means for the panoramic display of the ship's environment.
