No not a Holden but a huge high speed catamaran capable of carrying tanks etc.
One came to Portsmouth naval base today to pick up military hardware.
It's called an HSV-2 (high speed vehicle) Where was it built? why Australia of course.

Built in Hobart Tassie - one of that state's global success stories. In Oz they are used as a summer ferry between Melb & Tassie (Devilcat), doing the trip in 6 hours instead of the regular 12 hour trip in the normal boat. Tasmanians are famous for havin two heads - only natural their boats have two hulls!
