Note: This is a blast from the past that probably kept intel and military planners up at night. Not only an assault craft aimed at our aircraft carriers--able to head out from coastal locations at 300 miles per hour launching supersonic anti ship missiles in clusters--but they also would have given the Scandinavian countries fits trying to defend their shorelines in its troop transport version. In US form (with unlimited defense budgets) it would be the ultimate ship to shore connector and would enable amphibious assaults from 500 miles off shore!
