M80 匕首代表新一代軍艦的誕生。它以新型碳纖維材料建造並且具有網絡架構。該船獨特之處在於其赫爾技術船體設計，速度，行駛品質，有效載荷能力和提供的無人駕駛載具能力。

M80 Stiletto field trials
M80 匕首實地試驗

"The M80 Stiletto is a prototype naval ship manufactured by the M Ship Company." The US Department of Defense is now conducting field trials of M80 Stiletto. The vessel has participated in Trident Warrior joint-force exercises off the California coast.

“ M80 匕首是M 船舶公司製造的一種原型試驗艦船。" 美國國防部目前正在對其進行實地試驗。該船參加了加州海岸的三叉戟勇士聯合部隊演習。



When deployed at Colombia to help in fighting the US war on drugs, its operations in shallow-water drug interdiction resulted in capture of 1,800lb of cocaine.

M80曾部署在哥倫比亞，參加協助美國打擊毒品的戰爭，其在淺水區域的行動能力，使軍方捕獲一千八英鎊可卡因。
 

The M80 Stiletto was developed for high-speed military missions in shallow, littoral and near-shore waters. The vessel aims to realise Vice Admiral Arthur Cebrowski's vision of a 'brown-water navy' for expeditionary combat in the 21st century.

M80 匕首的研製目的是用於淺水，沿岸和近海水域的高速軍事任務。該船的目的是為實現海軍中將Arthur Cebrowski 所預見的二十一世紀 ' 棕水海軍 ' 的遠征作戰。

Hull technology
赫爾技術

The M80 Stiletto is a twin-M-hull vessel. It is 88ft in length with a 40ft beam, providing a rectangular deck area. When fully loaded the vessel's draught is 3ft. The M80 Stiletto can reach speeds of 50kt to 60kt. The vessel creates an air cushion by recapturing the bow wave and using its energy. This technology offers less drag and hence greater operational efficiency. The vessel is built on the advanced M-hull technology. Its carbon-fibre body ensures reduced weight and increased stiffness.

M80 匕首是雙M 形船體。 88英尺長和一個 40 呎長梁，提供一個長方形的甲板麵積。當滿載吃水3 英尺時,  M80 匕首能夠達到50 - 60 節的速度。該船通過再利用船首波，借助其能量，在船底形成一個氣墊。 這種技術提供了較少阻力，從而提高操縱效率。該船建立在先進的 M - 船體技術之上。 其碳纖維結構確保低重量和高強度。

M80 Stiletto was introduced to Pentagon's Office of Force Transformation as part of the scalability process of the M-hull technology. The US Government and its military agencies may purchase M80 Stiletto and other prototypes from M Ship Company on the basis of no-bid and sole-source acquisition contract.

M80 匕首作為可擴展性M - 船體技術的一部分，被介紹給美國國防部的部隊轉型辦公室。美國政府和軍事機構可能以沒有招標和單一來源采購合同，從 M 船舶公司購買 M80 匕首和其他原型船。

Survivability
生存能力

The M80 can withstand the rigours and abuse of a wartime environment. A blend of fibres and specially formulated resins make it rugged and tough. The hull of the M80 vessels does not require foils or lifting devices to achieve a smooth ride at high speed or in rough conditions. Its shallow draft allows it to operate in littoral and riverine environments and potentially allows for beach landings.

M80 可以承受嚴格和殘酷的戰時環境。融合了纖維和特殊配方的樹脂使船隻結構堅韌。M型船體使 M80 並不需要氣墊或抬升設備也能實現苛刻條件下的高速平穩運行。 輕盈的結構使M80可以在河流沿岸行動，並且具備在海灘登陸的潛力。

M-hull design features
M - 船體設計特點

The M-hull design has numerous advantages over the conventional craft. The high lift-to-drag ratio for efficient propulsion eliminates the hull speed limit of conventional displacement craft. "M80 Stiletto represents the next generation of military vessels." The simple hull form allows carbon-fibre construction avoiding the costly infrastructure requirements. Fleet costs are also reduced based on higher reliability of construction, and operation and maintenance without dependence on mechanical lifting vanes or air fans. The overall profile of the vessel is reduced by lowering the decks, enhancing the potential for radar and visual stealth, and allowing launching and retrieval of satellite craft while underway.

M - 船體設計較傳統工藝有許多優勢。高升阻比為有效推進消除了傳統工藝船體無法突破的速度限製。“ M80 匕首代表下一代的軍艦走向。" 簡單的碳纖維船體構造避免了對代價高昂的基礎設施的要求。結構上更高的可靠性，運營和維護不依賴於機械起重葉片或風機，使艦隊的費用也減少了。降低的甲板減小了整船外形，提高了M80對雷達和視覺隱身能力，從而可以使用衛星釋放和回收。

M80 performance
M80 的性能

The M80 Stiletto provides a stable platform for weapon launching at any speed, based on air lift in outboard planning tunnels. It is also capable of a high-speed tight flat 360° turn with less than 10Kt loss of vessel speed. In rough water the fine entry bow generates an increased bow wave on contacting chop. This impacts on the ceiling of the planning tunnels, cushioning the downward movement of the bow. The bow wave is eliminated at all speeds protecting shore-based structures.

基於舷外設計隧道式提升的能力，M80 匕首提供一個在任何速度基礎上的穩定的武器發射平台。它能夠做高速360 °旋轉而損失不到 10 節的速度。在苛刻的水環境中，精致的弓型入口生成並增加船首波接觸。對船底隧道拱頂的這種作用，為期提供了提升氣墊。在任何速度下，船首波得以消除，保護岸基式結構。
