The uncrewed Sea Hunter has been designed under the Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel program.
Compared to the Sea Hunter, the Chinese vessel is slightly longer and wider.
Jiang Tongfang New Shipbuilding is known to build government vessels but is not generally associated with the Chinese Navy.
Both these drone vessels are a fraction of the size of the new trimaran USV. The main benefit of the increased size should be range and seakeeping.
The U.S. Navy's Sea Hunter is almost identical in size and boasts 'transoceanic' ranges.
While Chinese defense manufacturers have a reputation for copying, this vessel is unusual in the degree to which it appears based on an American design.
Only one prototype of the Chinese 'Sea Hunter' drone is known and it appears to still be at the shipyard.
