Fight Shark No. 1 (Bo-Sha-Yi-Hao, 搏鲨1号) is a little known Chinese UAV mother ship built in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).[1][2][3]

Designed by Nanjing Long Peak Aerospace Electronic Science and Technology Corporation (南京长峰航天电子科技有限公司), a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), the ship was first revealed during the 13th Zhuhai Airshow in 2021,[1][2][3]after launched in May of the same year. The ship is a catamaran design, with helipad on the foredeck in front of the superstructure, with five spots on the helipad to accommodate a total of five unmmaned helicopters. Multiple large antenna radomes mounted atop of the superstructure is presumably to house high-band width communication systems to control large numbers of UAVs.[1][2][3]According to the information released by the developer at the Zhuhai Airshow, the ship is capable of simulating hostile drone swarms, high-volume anti-ship missile strikes, and electronic warfare attacks.[1][2][3]
