The Warzone/The Drive: This Combat Diver Delivery Unit Is a Crazy Fast Speed Boat That Turns Into a Sub
Still in prototype form, the unique boat would be able to race toward shore and then sneak up to its target underwater.
It’s something of an open secret that maritime special operations forces around the world rely on a wide array of highly specialized water craft, such as high-speed, low-profile speed boats, miniature submarines, and more. Now, one company, SubSea, is trying to combine a number of these features into single design it calls the Diver Delivery Unit (DDU), which can transform from a speedboat to a mini sub and back again.
The DDU concept is centered on a symmetrical twin-hull design, both of which could carry personnel or other equipment.

Batman holds the patent
In 2 months you'll see China launching something that will look eerily similar. Such coincidence :)
