#1 ...Taking a look at the pic, this may - stress the 'may' - be for real. It looks like they put some thought into designing it to be vaguely stealthy, and not seeing any firepower on there. On the other hand, it's a pretty distinctive design, so we should have no problems picking it out of a crowd.

#2 ^ Seems a reasonable assessment.
I wonder if the cyber-operational capabilities come pre-hacked by the Juice. Tricksy as hobbits, they are.

#3 USS Liberty was a spy ship, too. Israel bombed it, just like they will this new ship.
What, is this a conspiracy theory? USS Liberty was quite real, as were the sailors killed.

#4 You’ve long had a bee in your bonnet about the USS Liberty. It is dreadful that Israel attacked the ship of an ally during the Six Day War, for which they subsequently apologized and paid $13 million (about $120 million in current dollars) for repair and penalties to the sailors they harmed.

But it is dumb for any ship, allied or not, to move too close to an active war zone. Mistakes happen in the fog of war, mistakes that get people killed.
