Abstract
An ultra-fast trimaran deep water and littoral naval ship suited to combat, search and rescue, and/or deployment operations has a plurality of semi-planing hulls connected to the underside of a deck in a trimaran configuration. Further, a plurality of propulsion stages including a cruise propulsion stage, a wind assisted propulsion stage, and a vectored direct thrust propulsion stage may be independently operated alone or in conjunction to propel the ship at various speeds suited to different situations.
