Actually a hover craft can stop with the quickness. Increase resistance is it's brakes.



I am very curious as to if the Navy put out messages saying conducting amphibious testing in the vicinity of... This is normally protocol, so did this fisherman take his trip at his own risk?

I have seen fishermen ignore safety squawks while doing weapons tests in the Atlantic.
