This is a displacement vessel shown configured for STOVL aircraft operations, providing multiple, into the wind launch positions. Widely separated port and starboard hulls carry transverse decks; this wide separation eliminates heeling and allows the vessel to maneuver without rudders. Pairs of torque tube legs connect the hulls; these round tubes would twist to absorb otherwise destructive stresses produced from grounding of a single hull. Within the hulls are ballast tanks so the vessel can be submerged to a small waterplane, creating a very stable platform; or to a heeled and lowered position to discharge amphibious vehicles. Motor driven propellers provide the propulsion for very high speed, made possible by narrow hulls. Combined with active fins to minimize pitching, this vessel will provide a stable platform in most seaways.
