ABSTRACT:
An elongated flat bottom, vertical side cargo unit vessel with a specially configured high-speed bow featuring a forwardly cantilevered horizontal bottom panel of full hull width, predetermined projecting length and vertical thickness controlling bow wave of the hull, with a multi-skeged upsloped stern bottom. A plurality of detachably connected power module vessels and a single control module vessel arranged abreast are detachably connected to each other and to the stern. Submerged to adjustable depths, torpedo-shaped drive units of the power module vessels support upright housings thereon projecting above water level and pass through flotation collars which provide flotation and stability for the power module vessels as independent craft when detached from the cargo unit vessel. An elevatable helm house with monitor and control apparatus on the control module vessel provides control for the power module vessels and cargo unit vessel from a suitable vantage point. The control module vessel and power module vessels when detached from the cargo unit vessel hull become independent sea-going vessels capable in a group or separately of serving as life saving vessels, work boats or otherwise.
