A Boat Batman Would Love

A look-alike for the Bat Boat lives, and several can be found in littoral waters around Singapore. The craft has been in use by Singapore's Navy since 2009 but was shown to the public for the first time recently. See the IHS Janes article with several photos, hat tip to RealClearDefense for the link.

The stealthy naval interceptor, a term more frequently used for fighter planes, is the zoomiest looking thing afloat, everything including the stabilized machine gun is "stealthed." Malacca Strait pirates won't survive an encounter with this beauty.
