Nice video, made before the waterwings were added. I really like the big RIB up the transom method, but I’d also like to see the trimaran’s cable system. The transom doors on the monohull would be a weak point if it takes battle damage and can’t function, or worse, can’t close. To some extent, the waterwings might protect the vulnerable doors from fire. They also might subdue cross seas for launch in rough weather. (Or they might amplify them in certain circumstances.)

They can also launch/recover boats from a crane on the side, see here, so there's a Plan B if the transom takes battle damage.
