"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 船舶公司制造的一种原型试验舰船。" 美国国防部目前正在对其进行实地试验。该船参加了加州海岸的三叉戟勇士联合部队演习。



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曾部署在哥伦比亚，参加协助美国打击毒品的战争，其在浅水区域的行动能力，使军方捕获一千八英镑可卡因。
 

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 匕首的研制目的是用于浅水，沿岸和近海水域的高速军事任务。该船的目的是为实现海军中将Arthur Cebrowski 所预见的二十一世纪 ' 棕水海军 ' 的远征作战。

Hull technology
赫尔技术

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 匕首是双M 形船体。 88英尺长和一个 40 呎长梁，提供一个长方形的甲板面积。当满载吃水3 英尺时,  M80 匕首能够达到50 - 60 节的速度。该船通过再利用船首波，借助其能量，在船底形成一个气垫。 这种技术提供了较少阻力，从而提高操纵效率。该船建立在先进的 M - 船体技术之上。 其碳纤维结构确保低重量和高强度。

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 匕首作为可扩展性M - 船体技术的一部分，被介绍给美国国防部的部队转型办公室。美国政府和军事机构可能以没有招标和单一来源采购合同，从 M 船舶公司购买 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 可以承受严格和残酷的战时环境。融合了纤维和特殊配方的树脂使船只结构坚韧。M型船体使 M80 并不需要气垫或抬升设备也能实现苛刻条件下的高速平稳运行。 轻盈的结构使M80可以在河流沿岸行动，并且具备在海滩登陆的潜力。

M-hull design features
M - 船体设计特点

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 - 船体设计较传统工艺有许多优势。高升阻比为有效推进消除了传统工艺船体无法突破的速度限制。“ M80 匕首代表下一代的军舰走向。" 简单的碳纤维船体构造避免了对代价高昂的基础设施的要求。结构上更高的可靠性，运营和维护不依赖于机械起重叶片或风机，使舰队的费用也减少了。降低的甲板减小了整船外形，提高了M80对雷达和视觉隐身能力，从而可以使用卫星释放和回收。

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.

基于舷外设计隧道式提升的能力，M80 匕首提供一个在任何速度基础上的稳定的武器发射平台。它能够做高速360 °旋转而损失不到 10 节的速度。在苛刻的水环境中，精致的弓型入口生成并增加船首波接触。对船底隧道拱顶的这种作用，为期提供了提升气垫。在任何速度下，船首波得以消除，保护岸基式结构。
