Base off the Lun-class ekranoplan ship. The whole idea of the ekranoplan ship was to have a ship that move incredibly fast, and to do this Russian engineers devised this concept of a ship that can seamlessly hover above the water to reduce water resistance. The ship of this caliber was produced and prototyped back during the Cold War and its secrets of how it can hover above the water were kept hidden by the Russians. However, later on this was discovered to be the ground effect.
The Russian prototype was nicknamed the Caspian Sea Monster during the Cold War.
This is something I made for fun a long time ago. It isn't anything special (or functional)
This video demonstrates the ground effect pretty nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iqqHAWJq_0
