Abstract: A high-speed ship is formed of at least one elongate hull section submerged completely beneath the water''s surface supporting a platform above the surface waves by a plurality of struts dependent from the platform to provide support and stabilization by reason of their configuration and location. High-speed dynamic pitch stability is ensured by including a stabilizer member on the aft portion of the submerged hull having a horizontally oriented control surface sufficiently sized to locate the greatest composite, vertical pressure surface substantially aft of the ship''s centroid. Controlling the angle of the stabilizer member in accordance with changing wave conditions and speed provides a highly stable cargo transport capability as well as a superior weapons platform.
