Just in case the link doesn't work:

U.S. Navy's Littoral Surface Craft -- Experimental (X-Craft)
Successfully Completes Sea Trials

Mission Flexible Ship Achieves 50-Knot Certification Qualifying Speed;
Fastest large-craft in the U.S. Navy


They are being built about 15 miles from me on Whidbey Is, and they've
been running one here in the Puget Sound; I've seen it go by our house
at least a couple times on it's way to and from Admiralty Inlet.

It's big. It looks like a shoebox on pontoons. It's fast - Very fast.
It's noisy at speed, and it lays down one heck of a big wake.
