>Inventor Gregory Sancoff had decided to focus on small watercraft following the attack on the USS Cole in 2000, after which he recalled saying: "Some yahoo terrorists in a cheap little boat and $500 worth of explosives can kill 17 sailors on a billion-dollar ship?"

Under the guise of it being a lost or malfunctioning civilian boat what the fuck.

>He also came across a 630-page United States Navy report on an exercise called Juliet, where the Navy attacked an enemy force of small, high-speed boats; after two days, the Navy had suffered over 20,000 simulated casualties.

I'm going to assume he didn't read the whole report because that exercise was pretty fucking far from a simulation of anything having to do with reality.

Not saying there is no utility here but this boat is built on lies.

it says it has 4 torpedo bays, a crew of 3-5 and can carry 16 passengers. that seems like a lot in a very small package. is this all in one version or is there multiple? like a;
cruise missile version
torpedo version
transport version
anyone know anything about this thing?

its supposed to be stealthy to both sonar and rader. maybe it will be used by SWCC to drop off SEALS undetected ? it sounds like it could defend itself pretty good with torpedo's and cruise missiles (still not sure were they put it all tho)

ya against pirates im sure they work fine, but my understanding was they were designed to swarm large navy vessels and destroy them.

if it is, where is the engine? and where are these guided missiles, torpedoes and 20mm gun stored? stealth boat looks cool but in reality I think they would invest in small subs for seal delivery

Listerine here. I've got the cap of my insane rant about how PT boats were the shit.

A goddamn tiny boat that could kill torpedo battleships carriers, depth charge subs, shoot down planes, AND shell shore targets.

All for a low, low price.

Does that thing fucking transform? Do those wing elements swing vertically to support different profile/waves/speeds?
I don't care if it's not practical or what it's for, the world needs more variable geometry craft. It's just a step on the path to Veritechs.
