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.

Sorry guys, had to jump and make a trip out of town. Well being a hybrid might help it a bit. I hope it isn’t a flop like the last couple craft. Thank you for find that Rooster...
