520 _aDescribes the US Navy's new Joint High Speed Vessel. This is a catamaran style vessel "with core crews of only 22 civilian mariners, these speedy ships can transport more than 300 troops and their equipment in full load condition out to 1200 nautical miles at 35 knots". The JHSV draws less than thirteen feet fully loaded which opens access to ports and waterways that would be too shallow for traditional design ships. Describes potential missions and includes some technical data.
