have you ever seen a catamaran? you know what a catamaran is? you've got your cruising catamarans like this one. there are also racing catamarans, those are used in ocean racing, that's what they race at the olympics. but when the u.s. navy does a catamaran it's a different kind of thing. this hybrid souped up catamaran is a ship called the hsv-2 swift. hsv part of that stands for "high speed vessel." this is a super fast ship. it's a wave-piercing catamaran. it has a helicopter plight deck, a vehicle deck. this is a fast, versatile warship. this particular one was built in 2003, it was part of the united states navy until last year. then last year we leased this particular ship to the united arab emirates. and two weekends ago on october 1, that ship got blown up.
