Augusta Bay, Sicily (Mar. 25, 2005) -- Line handlers aboard the High Speed Vessel Two (HSV 2) Swift, prepare to throw mooring lines as Swift prepares to moor in Augusta Bay, Sicily. Swift is a wave-piercing aluminum-hulled catamaran that can move at speeds greater than 45 knots. With a draft allowing it to navigate in only 12 feet of water it can easily maneuver in and out of littoral environments. Photographer's Mate 2nd Class Brain P. Smarr (RELEASED)
