=================================================================
The Swift is a wave-piercing, aluminum-hulled, commercial catamaran with military enhancements, such as a helicopter flight deck, strengthened vehicle deck, small boat and unmanned vehicle launch and recovery capability, and an enhanced communications suite. It features a new, modular design, which will allow the ship to be refitted to support any mission without requiring long shipyard periods.  She now operates as a logistics supply and non-governmental organization command platform supporting overall United States Naval Strategy. Swift has two crews which rotate the ships operations approximately every four months, allowing her almost continuous operations.
