Can you offshore fishermen troll off this baby?
Read this story at least 100 times starting with the Keith Laumer Bolo stories.
“I found this:
Eureka Naval Craft is introducing its suite of high-speed AIRCAT (air cushion catamarans) surface effect ships (SES), already in use with the offshore energy industry, to the defense market.
According to Bo Jardine, CEO of Eureka Naval Craft, a newly formed U.S.-based naval defense company, the versatile suite of AIRCAT naval vessels can serve as a patrol craft, rescue craft, medical evacuation vessels, heavily armed small combatants and landing craft.
The AIRCAT SES has both an air cushion, like a hovercraft, and twin hulls like a catamaran.

Thank you...
