Ship Overview

The design of this ship is inspired by Sun Wukong, the legendary Monkey King and one of the main characters in the 16th-century Chinese novel "Journey to the West". Her most prominent feature is her powerful deepwater torpedoes, which strike enemies by surprise, much like Sun Wukong uses his supernatural martial skills to surprise his foes.
