When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

Stealthy!
Its supposed to cut through waves rather than bob on top of them.
Very cool ship.

This is an awesome NY Times video explaining how these boats work and why they are so revolutionary in different ways from the destroyer.

I sailed 'Lightening class' sailboats for many years, as a young guy. Also, did a year or so on 'Bobcat' size boats. If you haven't sailed, you're missing something. It's a great experience.
