Several test models of naval hydrofoil prototypes have been built under U S Navy sponsorship; hydrofoil landing craft is supported by 4 surface piercing foils equipped with retraction devices; 100-ton PC H-1 patrol craft has autopilot control, submerged foils, gas turbine propulsion, and can detect and kill submarines; construction is to start on 300-ton Research Ship AGEH; other surface possibilities and special services such as air-sea rescue, torpedo or nose cone recovery, port control, pilot delivery, etc, are discussed.
