Is that just a trick of the lighting on the photo, or does that thing really have a blunt bow like an old infantry landing craft?
It is a sea effect ship. Kind of like a hovercraft, but with rigid sides. The front and rear are flexible rubber skirts..

Ah, I see now, thanks! I was sitting here puzzling over how they could make a “fast” patrol craft with a bow that looked like it came off a Higgins boat...
