Tech dreams of organic toys
And I'm runnin' out on the edge
Soft screams of the rockerboys
Echoing through my head

These are not supercavitating, but also stealthy:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skjold_class_patrol_boat
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Fayette_class_frigate

and theres's probably more, as other countries will be copying these.

not actually stealth but these 3 are pretty damn cool.

the spider boat (built in anacortes, north of seattle)

the EarthRace/Ady Gil
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthrace


and the (more names than i care to type)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Gojira


of course 2 of them have been used by those whale wars folks.
the EarthRace was sunk, but i won't even get into the "they rammed us/ they got in our way" argument tween them and the japanese whalers. just don't park your speed boat in front of a damn whaler, idiots.
Carpe Noctem (seize the night)
Carpe per Diem (seize the pay), Carpe Dentum (seize the teeth), Carpe Denim (seize the pants)
Carpe Panem (seize the bread/capital)

no, i won't "just get over it."

NERPS!! for idiocy! NERPS!! for the minty fresh feeling! NERPS!! for gods! NERPS!! for guard duty!

Reminds me of the boat from Thunder in Paradise.
Look past the lies, and all the scary stuff that remains is the truth.
