How about using LCACS ??

The LCAC is capable of carrying a 60 ton payload (up to 75 tons in an overload condition) at speeds over 40 knots. Unlike the Surface Effect Ship (SES), no portion of the LCAC hull structure penetrates the water surface; the entire hull rides approximately four feet above the surface.

LCACS sounds like a great stop-gap solution, but do you happen to know if we've deployed any of these watercraft in the region?

Doesn't this make quite a "dent" in the water beneath?
