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."
The new stealth superboat is believed to be capable of reaching 70mph - which, on the water, is terrifyingly fast.
So I suppose that the speedboats I've been in that went even faster were ultra-terrifying. Would have been nice if someone had told me so I'd have been suitably frightened.
