The High Speed Vessels (HSV) are a series of Australian built high speed aluminum hull catamarans leased by the United States for testing concepts for the US Army's Theater Support Vessels (TSV) and the US Navy's Littoral Combat Ships (LCS). There are no plans at the moment to purchase any HSV for permanent use by the US Navy.
