Built by Incat in Tasmania and delivered in 2003, the 98m Wave Piercing Catamaran HSV 2 Swift was contracted by Military Sealift Command, Washington, DC from Bollinger / Incat USA, LLC, Lockport, Louisiana for the US Navy.
Following successes enjoyed with HSV X1 Joint Venture and TSV 1X Spearhead, High Speed Vessels (HSV) previously acquired through Bollinger/Incat, this third craft was contracted to service operationally as an interim Mine Warfare Command and Support Ship (MCS), and support transformational mine warfare modular payload initiatives.
Capabilities
HSV 2 Swift is capable of maintaining an average speed of 35 knots or greater, loaded with 500 short tons, consisting of 350 personnel and military equipment. A minimum operating range of 1100 nautical miles at 35 knots was required by the contract, as was a minimum transit range of 4000 nautical miles at an average speed of 20 knots. Furthermore, she is capable of 24 hour operations at slow speeds (3-10 knots) for experimentation with unmanned autonomous vehicles, and to support dedicated and emerging organic mine warfare missions.
A stern ramp capable of on/off loading directly astern or to the starboard quarter is fitted. The ramp is capable of loading/unloading a multitude of military vehicles up to and including M1A1 vehicles up to 26,000 lbs, whilst underway. The crane is capable of lifting up to 22,000 lbs to and from the flight deck.
The vessel has a NAVAIR certified helicopter flight deck for operation of MH-60’s, CH-46, UH-1 and AH-1 helicopters. An area protected from the weather for storage and maintenance of two MH-60S is provided to enhance aviation operations in day, night and instrument meteorological conditions. |
