Chapter One APPLICATIONS The U.S. recently conducted a design competition forMthaerk V Special Operations Craft to support SEAL operationsH. alter Marine offered a composite boat with surface piercing propellers and an aluminum boat with waterjet propulsion. Peterson Builders built an aluminum catamaran. The aluminum waterjet boat was chosen after testing in the Gulf of Mexico by the Special Warfare group at McDill Air Force Base in Tampa, FL. The operational assessment probably did not consider hull construction material as much as performance, although some concern was noted regarding future repair of the composite hull. This is interesting to note, as most of the boats used by Special Operations forces are of GRP construction. Table 1-3 is an international overview of composite military high-speed craft.
