Recycled cushion, finned, and bustled air cushion enhanced ship

In an improved marine vehicle that is partially supported by one or more artificially pressurized gas cushions, the improvement comprising:

• a stern bustle in mechanical communication with said improved marine vehicle wherein, when the improved marine vehicle is moving forward, fluid flowing from an underside of the vessel, starting at a position at least in its majority aft of at least one artificially pressurized gas cushion, adheres to a shape of the stern bustle going aft thereby adding a forward force due to the forward acting pressure of the fluid on the improved marine vehicle and wherein said stern bustle rises, going from forward to aft, by an average angle of less than eighteen degrees when the marine vehicle is in forward operation.

In an improved main vehicle that is partially supported by one or more artificially pressurized gas cushions, the improvement comprising:

• aft stabilizers that extend outward from either side of the improved marine vehicle and are disposed forward of a stern of and aft of at least a majority of at least one artificially pressurized gas cushion and, at least in part, below an underwater side portion of the improved marine vehicle that tapers inward going aft.

In an improved marine vehicle that is partially supported by one or more artifically pressurized gas cushions, the improvement comprising:

• an aft stabilizer extends outward from and, at least in part, below an aft underwater side portion of said improved marine vehicle wherein said aft underwater side portion of said improved marine vehicle tapers inward going aft over at least fifteen percent of the waterline length of said improved marine vehicle and wherein said aft stabilizer is, at least in part, moveable in relation to the advanced marine vehicle.

In an improved marine vehicle that is partially supported by one or more artifically pressurized gas cushions, the improvement comprising:

• a waterjet propulsor wherein said waterjet propulsor's water inlet is disposed, at least in its majority, in an underwater side surface of said improved marine vehicle wherein said side surface is, on average as seen in vertical transverse planes of the improved marine vehicle, more vertical than horizontal and wherein said underwater side portion of said improved marine vehicle tapers inward going aft over at least thirty-five percent of a waterline length of said improved marine vehicle.
