British catamaran rocket launch vessel?

[pmn1]

In Rebuilding the Royal navy, its author D K Brown mentions a fellow naval architect called Eric Tupper being part of a team that was developing a catamaran to launch space vehicles.<br /><br />This appears to have been at the time the Type 82 destroyer was being designed so this makes it the early 60’s.<br /><br />Does anyone have any information on this design?<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

IIRC the Sea Launch, Odyssey launch platform is considered to be a catamaran. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#993300"><span class="body"><font size="2" color="#3366ff"><div align="center">. </div><div align="center">Never roll in the mud with a pig.
