VSV

If your going to punch through a swell, the VSV looks like the way to do it. I read some dope on it a few years back. I think it was in Combat Craft Magazine.

Do you remember any specs on the VSV?

the VSV.... Very Slender Vesssel was orginally  built for the Brits by VT Halmatic
 53'Lenght and 10 beam designed for SBS as a High speed intercepter.
 This 60 knot boat punches thru the waves rather than ride over them.

When I see these other patrol boats, it makes me think that the U.S. is behind the power curve on patrol boat design and implementation.
