Why It Matters

China has been actively developing unconventional naval platforms and stealth technology for its maritime forces.

Font size

China appears to be testing a stealthy new trimaran at sea, according to a photograph circulating on social media, in what could be a further effort to develop unconventional naval platforms.

The image first emerged on Weibo on Sunday and appears to show a vessel featuring an inverted wave-piercing bow, three-hull design and angular superstructure surfaces that could be intended to reduce its radar signature.

The vessel, which is fitted with a prominent antenna mast and multiple dome-shaped structures that resemble radars, is pictured at sea with a distinct wake, suggesting it is moving at speed.

However, the time and location of the picture have not been independently verified and details about the boat’s specifications, intended role and operational status remain unclear.

Open Questions

  • ?Where and when was the photograph taken?
  • ?What are the technical specifications of the vessel?
  • ?What is the intended operational role of the trimaran?
