An increasing number of countries are complementing their conventional-hull navies with hydrofoil ships. This paper reviews the military usage of current hydrofoils particularly useful in certain mission roles. Additional missions for current generation hydrofoils are identified and discussed. Finally, the authors describe the mission-related implications of the next generation, larger hydrofoils. (Wassmann)
