The answer to designing ships that are both fast and stable has traditionally been to make the vessels as narrow as possible (to reduce drag) and sit them lower in the water (to reduce the buffeting effects of plowing through waves). But US Navy's M80 Stiletto is not your typical ship. With its quartet of 6,600 HP Caterpillar engines, the Stiletto tops out at 50 to 60 knots and boasts a 500 nmi operational range. Granted 60 knots is only about 70 mph on land but in the water, that's "They've gone plaid" sort of fast.
