Trimaran Warships
Second Rome is looking to buy designs, or designers, for Trimaran Warships. Trimarans are naval vessels with three hulls, which increases the speed and maneuverability of the ship. Very good for fast maneuvers.
The trimaran design for warships has four key attractions:
The slender hull form with the outriggers will give a reduced drag of 20% over an equivalent monohull
The lower resistance will permit a reduced machinery fit leading to lower through-life costs
The side hulls give greater innate stability offering growth potential and the ability to mount higher above-water sensors to improve early missile detection
An increased deck area of some 40% which offers more space for hangars, helicopters and weapons

Warships, of course, would be much larger than the research vessel pictured above. You should, however, get the idea of what we mean by trimaran from this image.

At this stage of the game, it is unlikely you would have sufficient funds to purchase any trimaran warships beyond frigates. We do have frigates to offer, but at the time they are still in the prototype/experimenting stage of development.

Our testing frigate.
We are willing to buy designs or designers, which we can surely afford.
