Unique Ships of the U.S. Navy
Here's a talk by one of the inventors of FLIP:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM6jFokRoZk
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.
