How about a modern day fast attack U-Boat?
This would be a craft capable of high speeds on the surface, armed with a few anti-ship weapons that could rapidly dive to safety from current surface attack weapons. It would then remain submerged and silent and launch self defence missiles at hunter-killer units searching for it.
The small crew (4?) would be housed in a pressurized safety sphere capable of withstanding explosions in the same way mine protected vehicles do on land. This sphere would also act as a escape capsule.
The 16m long, 50kt capable Halmatic VSV could be the basis for a fast attack U-Boat http://www.vosperthornycroft.co.uk/halmatic/product.asp?itemID=414&catid=92
