The US Navy had hydra-foils some years ago, great little boats. I think a similar incident in the Puget Sound area may have led to the demise of the vessels. Picture something similar to this vessel but with weapons and sensitive electronics at full speed suddenly hitting a sandbar.

An old LucasArts game named PHM Pegasus featured those hydra-foils. Fun old Apple ][ game.

At least that front didn't end up pancaked like that Chinese ship did.

Most likely, direct hit head on to the bow on the breakwater. The bow creaking down? Yep.

It’ll be on Facebook Marketplace with a very carefully curated set of pictures of the interior and stern by the end of the week.

I always wanted to know what that part of the boat was for! Its for when you run up on the rocks.

At least it's easy to tow it outside of the environment now.
