You can find the Hulk class ship blueprint at the Sacred Tree outpost location in Skull and Bones. This is an area in the Red Isle directly west of Sainte-Anne, the pirate haven you are brought to after the introduction sequence.

The easiest way to navigate to Sacred Tree is to cut through the passageway at Tsifo Lumberyard, then turn shortly after passing Tamby Foundry. After you arrive at the island, speak to the Fara trader.
