[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] I've always considered cloaking as just a very effective type of stealth technology. Stealth technologies might be considered anything that makes a ship less easily observable and might include physical mean (camouflage paint, reflective materials, clouds of gas, and chaff) and electronic means (radar jamming, masking, false signals). The cloaking device, as least as seen in TOS, was a man-transportable unit. Making it so small doesn't make much sense, because unless you plan to put the device into a very very small ship (the size of a phone booth, say), the small size just allows it to be stolen easily by Captain Kirk and a set of ears. But before this cloaking device I'm sure the Romulans had similar cloaking systems built right into the ship. Even earlier than that I'm sure they had less effective sensor countermeasures. Therefore, I think cloaking systems and devices are on a continuum with stealth technology. [/QB][/QUOTE]
