Surface effect ship
Морской словарь |
A vessel supported by a cushion of downward-thrusting air, usually with twin hulls (like a catamaran). when it is “off-cushion” or “hullborne,” its full weight is supported by the buoyancy of the hulls. when “on-cushion,” a small portion of each hull remains in the water, making it more resistant to slipping sideways and able to use underwater jets
