USA bygger 127 meter lang trimaranfregat

Den amerikanske flåde har netop afsluttet de sidste prøvesejladser af en ny hurtiggående trimaran-fregat, der på trods af sin imponerende størrelse, er i stand til at nå op på over 43 knob.

"Det er simpelthen uhørt for et skib på denne størrelse", siger forsvarsekspert Loren Thompson fra Lexington Institute til nyhedsbureauet Associated Press.

Med sin lave dybgang er fregatten i stand til at gå langt ind under land. En egenskab der vil gøre den særdeles velegnet til bl.a. at jagte pirater. Det skriver magasinet Ingeniøren.

Ud over høj fart og lav dybgang, udmærket den nye fregat - Independence - sig, på grund af trimarankonstruktionen, ved at være en meget stabil landingsplads for helikoptere i al slags vejr.

Independence

er bygget af aluminium af et selskab under General Dynamics, og fregatten er i stand til at holde en hastighed på 43 knob over flere timer, trods stiv kuling lige i næsen og bølger på mellem 1,8 og 2,5 meter.

Prisen for Independence ligger angivelig på omkring 3,5 milliarder kroner.
