The Future Surface Combatant The Future Surface Combatant (FSC) is the Royal Navy’s plan to look at designing a future warship that will eventually replace the Type 22 and Type 23 Frigates when they come to the end of their operational working lives. The FSC, which is still in its conceptual design stage, will be versatile, affordable and will be a maritime platform that can be deployed through life across the spectrum of defence missions, ranging from peace support to high intensity warfare. The two major new developments to come with the FSC are the possible incorporation of a trimaran hull and the implementation of electric motors to power the ship. A trimaran (three-hulled) ship would be a high profile, revolutionary design that would offer the benefits of being more stable in rougher sea states, more efficient in the water (less drag) and give more deck space to install weapons systems and allow more area for landing helicopters on the flight deck. As well as being more comfortable for the crew operating the FSC, greater stability allows communications equipment to be stored higher in the ship, which would improve the performance of the transmitters and receivers. http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/static/pages/5123.html ==================================================== This design is based on the triton - http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/static/pages/2093.html |
