US defense company Eureka Naval Craft is teaming up with Singapore’s Strategic Marine to build a new class of modular warships in Asia, aimed at the US Navy and allied fleets.
At the center of the project is the Aircat Bengal MC, a 36-meter (118-foot) surface effect ship designed to take on missions usually handled by much larger corvettes and frigates.
The multi-mission vessel can support troop transport, landing operations, drone deployment, electronic warfare, and mine countermeasures.
