This is the Trimaran R/V Triton.
R/V Triton is a 318-foot (97-meter), 1,100 ton trials vessel built by the UK Ministry of Defense to test the trimaran hull concept for use in future warships. In addition, she is testing other new technologies, such as electronics and controls. The most likely application for the trimaran hullform is the Royal Navy's Future Surface Combatant program, a frigate-type ship intended to replace the existing Type 22 and Type 23 frigates, starting around 2012-2015.
