Utility of hydrofoil vessel, in marine speed range from 25 to 100 knots, for both military and commercial operations is illustrated on basis of data accumulated over 12 yr from operation of some 79 vessels designed by Supramar, using Schertel-Sachsenberg foil system; number of long, open sea cruises of these vessels are described; few incidents involving collisions of hydrofoil vessels with various objects are included; problems of maintenance and design modifications brought about by corrosion and erosion due to cavitation are indicated.
