On November 30 2019 the Iranian Navy has unveiled new military achievements produced locally including a new Trimaran warship design under the Safineh guided-missile destroyer project.

Trimaran battleship. It is the second littoral combat ship of the Independence variant that features an innovative trimaran hull. In general the catamaran or trimaran will have more frictional resistance as it will have more wetted surface. A TRIMARAN warship with three narrow hulls would need only half the power of conventional vessels to achieve the same top speed according to its British designers.

It is reported that the ship has a displacement of 2200 to 3000 tons and a speed of 40 knots. According to our first analysis the ship has a design similar. The design is fairly universal capable of being utilized on almost every ship class.

Unlike catamarans the center hull is usually larger than the other two hulls. In fact it is about twice the size of the Hormuz class trimaran unveiled last November. The new graphic rendering of Iranian trimaran warship Safineh published by Iranian httpwwwmilitaryirweb page.

A Trimaran design has one main hull like a conventional ship as well as two smaller outrigger hulls. Navys Littoral Combat Ship LCS. In its basic design features these sleek battlecruisers share many features with the Type 512 Helgoland class missile frigate with many of the same features carried over on the Type 612 Iroquois class missile destroyer.

The design was produced by the General Dynamics consortium for the Navys LCS program and competes with the Lockheed Martin designed Freedom variant. USS Independence is the lead ship of the Independence-class of littoral combat ships. She is the sixth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the concept of independence.

On a battleship you face a horrific deck armor problem with making your hull wider though in theory the triamaran hull could improve torpedo protection against conventional torpedo hits.

Following her launch in 2000 the ship began an extensive series of trials in 2001 which covered general ship handling performance sea-keeping behaviour but also areas more specific to its design for which the Royal Navy had no experience.
