Vessel 1 was cruising at approximately 40 miles per hour; the Operator stated that Vessel 1 was "bouncing" while in operation, but he did not feel Vessel 1 strike anything in the water.  A short time later Vessel 1 began taking on water; a large hole was found mid-ship port side of the bottom of Vessel 1 presumably from having struck an unidentified submerged object.
