"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and display stamina in purpose." - President Eisenhower, First Inaugural Address

I Wonder (Again) Why Don't We Have Hydrofoils in the U.S. Navy?
Littoral combat, narrow seas combat or coastal operations, anything but deep blue water ops, I think we made a serious mistake not keeping and developing these small, high speed ships and their operations in squadrons and flotillas.
In fact, I assert we need them now. Right now.

Having some available to help in the Strait of Hormuz would certainly be handy right now.
