Re: US NAVY has a cat! It is fast.
I've been on Sea Fighter. It's quite impressive. The hanger deck is huge. It's designed to operate with a very small crew and has a very advance bridge control (u-drive and autopilot modes). It had several "off-board" systems on at the time, including a couple of big RIB's. Unfortunately it was not selected for the LCS so I believe will not go into full service.
