Trimaran warship design. In addition a trimarans outriggers add stand-off range to the. Naval Groups Ocean Avenger Drone Carrier Warship is a trimaran design that carries a 155mm gun and several banks of VLS tubes. Shipbuilder Austal first came to Gizmags attention in 2005 with the launch of the worlds largest aluminum vessel the 127 meter Benchijigua Express.
Trimaran is a boat with three interconnected hulls. But in warship design the trimaran hull is being heralded as the greatest innovation since the Ironsides of the 19th century. But there has been little previous interest in developing.

The initial work on trimaran warships was carried out at the University College in London where the UK MOD sponsors a department which studies warship design.
I believe ATLA switched to a smaller and more conservative design for stability. Triton is the worlds largest motor powered trimaran triple-hulled vessel with a length of 90m and beam of 22m. Austral is also one of the two.
