You were actually ON the Pegasus hydrofoil -  talk about the "wet" Navy.
Oh, 
well the USN decided to let the Israelis have all the fun with their
missile 
boat fleet. Of course, with all that speed the hydrofoils still have to
use 
slow speed stalks to close on a target, because the "rooster-tail" of
water 
streaming up by and behind the hydrofoil at speed makes a HUGE radar
return. 
Wouldn't hydrofoils with the right emitters have made a handy-deandy
decoy 
for the big vulnerable carriers!
