An artist's concept of a minesweeper hunter (MSH) underway. The MSH is a new class of minesweeper using an air cushion to reduce the contact of the hull with the water surface, thus making it less susceptible to underwater shock from mine explosions. The air cushion also makes it less likely that today`s sophisticated mines will be triggered before they can be detected and neutralized

An artist's concept, by J. J. Carr, of a landing craft air cushion (LCAC) landing on a beach. Riding on a cushion of air held beneath its hull by flexible skirts, the LCAC can deliver a 60 to 75-ton payload to a dry landing over most tides, water depths, underwater obstacles and beach gradients. The craft has a range of about 200 miles, and is 88 feet long, 47 feet wide and 23 feet high
