A surface-effect ship (SES) is a type of vessel that utilizes an air cushion or "hovercraft effect" to reduce drag and increase speed. It combines the features of both a conventional ship and a hovercraft, allowing it to glide smoothly over the water's surface while maintaining high speeds. The distinctive symbol 🌊⛵️ represents the dynamic nature of an SES as it gracefully sails through the waves, harnessing the power of the sea to propel itself forward.
