RV Triton
The Research Vessel ''Triton'' is a trimaran vessel owned by Gardline Marine Sciences Limited and a former prototype British warship demonstrator for the UK's Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (later QinetiQ). She was built as a technology demonstrator ship for the Royal Navy's Future Surface Combatant, and has been used to both prove the viability of the hull-form and as a trials platform for other QinetiQ innovations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Triton Trimaran Research Ship, United Kingdom )〕 Since 2007 the ship has been used by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service's Customs Marine Unit.
==Construction==
In August 1998, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) awarded a contract to Vosper Thornycroft to construct the trimaran, at a cost of £13.5m〔 RV ''Triton'' was launched in May 2000 and delivered in August 2000. ''Triton'' then began a two-year risk reduction trials programme for the UK MoD and the US Department of Defense.
The vessel's three parallel hulls are reflected in her name which refers to the maritime god Triton who carried the three-pronged spear, the trident. The outriggers are thinner and much shorter than the dominant central hull.
