Think again. Wooden sailing ships are stealth to radar and sonar.The version I've heard is that beating Drake's drum will cause his fleet to rise from the bottom to defend England. We won't comment on how well a 16th-century sailing vessel would fare against even the lightest of 21st-century warships.
I like the legends, though.
Science n shit...
Operators of small vessels are cautioned that wood and fiberglass are particularly poor radar reflecting materials and produce weak radar signatures.
