Imo a large trimaran is a design about a decade and a half away for the IRGC. They'll move from corvettes to frigates to destroyers and only then to battle cruisers, landing ships and the like.let just say there was a computer generated design and a mockup . when they will start to seriously build it and research it , don't knew it depend how much money will be poured into it .
my guess, I'm not sure is they want to start Shahid Suleumani corvette and how it perform at seas first , how it's body tolerare stress fiirst , after that if the alluminium body passed its real test , they build some smaller trimaran and if they were confident about the design then they will commit to a big trimaran .
you can look at it like this at the moment three facility build moudge courvettes they probably deliver two of themin one year and one latter , then one will be building Loqman the other two must build something , probably if they have capability to work with Alluminum sheets one will be assigned to produce Ships in class of Shahis Suleymani so they can deliver the promis they made bout one ship in that class per year and one will be assigned to research and produce the trimaran design
Of course, a landing ship means they'll have to develop amphibious assault vehicles, light tanks and train and equip naval infantry for beach landings etc.
But I digress - the IRGC-N has plans to establish presence in international waters. For that, it will need heavier vessels, particularly if they want to traverse the Atlantic or make trips to the DPRK in the hot zone of the Pacific Ocean.
