Missile hovercraft for littoral warfare

Where could a missile-armed British hovercraft be useful?

Primarily in littoral environments, where the platform's mobility offers unusual tactical options.

The only firm use case given for the missile hovercraft is littoral warfare. Its unusual mobility could create tactical options close to shore that a conventional hull would not have. The comparison with Tiberian Sun is an analogy for that coastal role rather than evidence for a real-world design. The brief answer does not establish a place for the craft in open-ocean fleet combat.
