HSV ''Sea Slice'' was an experimental United States Navy vessel, built by Lockheed Martin,〔 〕 and now in commercial service. Based on a variant of the SWATH hull design, known as "SLICE," ''Sea Slice'' is characterized by four teardrop-shaped submerged hulls—double the number seen on most previous designs. According to the US Navy, the design reduces waves and drag, which allows a SWATH vessel to "...operate at higher speeds while retaining their characteristic low motions in a seaway".
