In this regard, at the moment, the sea powers are looking for innovative approaches to creating a fleet of the future. One of the interesting and non-standard solutions is WIG.

      Now it is extremely difficult to create a traditional fleet, which would include aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers and which could compete on an equal footing with the strongest fleet in the world - the US Navy.
