High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Visby is the latest class of corvette to be adopted by the Swedish Navy after the Goteborg and the Stockholm class corvettes. The ship's design heavily emphasizes "low visibility" or stealth technology. The first ship in the class is named after Visby, the main city on the island of Gotland. The ships are designed by Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) and built by Kockums AB and have undergone extensive testing. The class has received widespread international attention because of its status as a stealth ship and its network-centric capabilities. The hull is constructed with a sandwich design consisting of a PVC core with a carbon fibre and vinyl laminate (see also the Oceanic-Creations spin-off), and its angular design reduces its radar signature (or radar cross section). Its 57 mm cannon barrel can also be folded into the turret to further reduce its cross section.
