This new secret superboat is the latest British weapon to help fight the war on terror.

The stealth boat, to be used by the Royal Marines, is thought to be capable of reaching speeds of about 70mph.

The vessel will be used in various roles including the insertion of troops in enemy territory and the hunting of drugs smugglers.

...

Experts believe the dull-grey boat will have been designed using stealth technology to help it avoid radar detection.

...

It is described as extremely quite and having a very low wake. No comments on outrunning the Iranian navy.
