GHOST - Military Watercraft Prototype

A recent article on Gizmag.com reports on a new “super-cavitating” military vessel created by New Hampshire-based Juliet Marine Systems (JMS).
According to the article, the new boat—dubbed GHOST—features special tubular foils that create a bubble of gas around the foils, all but eliminating drag.

JMS states that “GHOST is a combination aircraft/boat that has been designed to fly through an artificial underwater gaseous environment that creates 900 times less hull friction than water.”
