ABSTRACT:
A hydro-propelled ship is provided which consists of a hull having a double wall, so as to float on a top surface of a body of water. A pair of propulsion turbines are each affixed to a starboard side and a port side of the hull of the ship in a catamaran configuration below the top surface of the body of water. A mechanism is carried within the hull of the ship for generating power to operate each of the propulsion turbines to produce a water jet to propel the ship along the body of water. A pair of adjustable rudders extend downwardly into the body of water from the stern of the hull for steering the ship.
