Here's a talk by one of the inventors of FLIP:

He talks about the ship design a little bit, and about his research.

There's an impressive clip in there, starting around 16:16, about one time off Hawai'i, when 80' blue-water swells started coming in from some far-off storm. The ship nearly stays in place as the waves engulf it, leaving only 15' above the water.

More video how it flips (with some history)
