USNI News: Chinese Navy Crafts Unmanned Sea Hunter Knock-off
A candid photograph posted on Chinese social media sheds light on a Chinese project to develop an unmanned ship similar to the U.S. Navy’s Sea Hunter. The trimaran is remarkably similar to the Sea Hunter in almost every respect.
Although the designation of the project is unknown, based on imagery analysis, the builder and dimensions have been established.
The uncrewed Sea Hunter has been designed under the Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) program. The uncrewed surface vessel’s (USV) primary mission is to track quiet diesel-electric submarines. It is designed to “lock on” to a submarine and trail it continuously.

Japanese got their 1st guns from the Portuguese, Dutch, English or French in trade and/or shipwrecks. Japanese swordsmiths copied these guns and made improvements. There is a lesson in there somewhere.
The first documented introduction of the matchlock which became known as the tanegashima was through the Portuguese in 1543
The Japanese soon worked on various techniques to improve the effectiveness of their guns.
Not the source I was looking for

The Japanese improved the guns they had but were surpassed by later European guns. Perhaps because they had price controls (for some of the period), a caste system and an illiberal economy.
This looks similar to the US' Zumwalt class destroyer.
Jeffsmith they are very smart and ruthless
Their efficiency to accomplish engineering is unrivaled due to the fact that they don't give a fck about who invented it. No royalties paid. Hundreds if billions saved every year, making them able to outcompete everyone unfairly. Until we enforce laws for all, we are second class citizens in this world, next to the Chinese CCP and corporations they own and direct against us
