These catamarran,hovercraft, aircraft carriers mirror some earlier proposals for displacement hulled catamarran or trimarran escort carriers. The goal is to reduce hull rolling in heavy seas.

There have also been a few surface piercing catamarran proposals. Small waterline area hulls with the same objective of improving deck stability in rough seas. The question ermains: how light can you build an escort carrier before hangar volume or number of airframes suffers?
