The first images of China’s new semi-submersible unmanned missile carrying trimaran warship has surfaced on local social media, showing a profile view of the vessel in the water in what appears to be the Huangpu shipyard in Guangzhou.
The warship program is being developed with a particularly high degree of secrecy, with prior images showing much of its structure concealed under tarpaulins.
From what is visible of the design, it appears to have been intended to be capable high speeds, with an ability to submerge to confuse radar tracking and evade missile attacks.
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy has long ben expected to make greater use of unmanned missile carrying warships to provide support for its fast growing destroyer fleet, which has increasingly led the world in its capabilities.
