''Triton'' was designed as a demonstrator to prove that the trimaran concept would work successfully in a large warship. Following her launch in 2000, the ship began an extensive series of trials in 2001, which covered general ship handling, performance, sea-keeping behaviour, but also areas more specific to its design for which the  [[Royal Navy]] had no experience.  For example, a series of docking manoeuvres were undertaken by the pilot boats of [[HMNB Portsmouth]] to determine the problems of docking a large trimaran, and the ship underwent [[underway replenishment]] alongside {{HMS|Argyll|F231|6}} and the tanker {{RFAux|Brambleleaf|A81|6}} to ascertain the characteristics of a trimaran and a monohull replenishing at the same time.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} ''Triton'' also undertook the first helicopter take off and landing on a trimaran.<ref name = NT/>
