They pulled water in from intakes at the foot of the aft struts, up the struts and into a huge water jet at the transom which ran off of an LM2500 Gas Turbine. They had small diesel engines and conventional waterjets (KaMeWa I believe) for low speed hull born operations. Named the Pegasus class for the Greek winged horse.Quote:

Hmmm, no step(s), but angled lifting strakes. So maybe the angled strakes aerate the hull just like a step? Veery interesting!Quote:
