美军退役穿浪型双船体回归霍巴特

霍巴特造船公司INCAT制造的穿浪型双船体在美军服役10年后回归霍巴特

HSV 2 Swift 从2003年开始为美国海军提供后勤补助任务，本来是服役五年的时间，后来在2008年花了9300万美金期间又延长了五年的时间服役时间，前后一共服役十年的时间。在过去的十年里面去过全球很多个地点包括黎巴嫩，波斯湾，东非，墨西哥湾。

INCAT公司共为美军建造了三艘同样的船，今天早上9：30穿过塔斯曼大桥！停在了Prince of Wales Bay的造船厂。

最主要的是The Swift将会在霍巴特改造，后将出售或用于船运

会不会用做旅游呢？

AN INCAT-built wave-piercing catamaran has returned to Hobart after active duty with the US military.

HSV 2 Swift was first chartered to the US Navy-Military Sealift in 2003 for five years, with a five-year extension granted in October 2008 at a cost of about $US93 million.

The 98m vessel, which is owned by US firm Bollinger/Incat, has travelled to many global troublespots over the past 10 years including Lebanon, the Persian Gulf and East Africa.

The Swift has also travelled to the Gulf of Mexico.

The vessel, one of three Incat-built ships contracted by the US military -- passed under the Tasman Bridge at 9.30am today and docked at the Incat shipyard in Prince of Wales Bay at 10am.

The Swift will be refitted in Hobart for sale or charter.
