Chinese Navy (PLAN) News & Discussions

Broadcast in the main, the most referred national news program slot daily, CCTV's Xinwen Lianbo:

《新闻联播》 20171118 温暖的力量 感人的瞬间——习近平总书记会见全国道德模范代表引发强烈反响 | CCTV
Warm power touching moments - General Secretary Xi Jinping met with the Representatives of the National Moral Models caused strong repercussions

Watch at 1:53 (no Engsub) General Secretary Xi Jinping approached the elder scientist Huang Xuhua to take the front seat in the group photo session on 18 November 2017. Xi even removed the impeding chair hastily by himself to give way to the rather hesitated Huang to advance to take the front seat next to him, showing a very warm gesture as well as a great respect to the senior man regarded as the "Father of China's Nuclear Submarine", who's 93 years old this year. Later Huang admitted he preferred to stay in low profile as he used to be, yet he's much moved by the great warmness showed by the nation's top leader.

He must be so proud of how far China has come...IEPS, magentic drive and shaftless propulsion. The future is getting very interesting.

I posted the same video earlier at the China Submarine thread, quoted here:


So, to take your suggestion, with attention on this particular segment, which part of the info from this footage is not accurate or even incorrect/untrue according to what you'd learned... please enlighten us.

If those guests don't take it seriously, why should we?

A fun concept for the amphibious hybrid vehicle "Seal" - speed 70 km per hour max on the water for a range of 80 km, or 100 km per hour on the ground for 350 km. Power of 280HP, capacity of 350 kg.

Completed design and unveil in 2013 naval and marine show, enter production subsequently in 2 years time in 2015.

Exported to Russia and install on Buyan class corvette. Reported used on PLAN warship too.

The military grade has much higher kw of 3600kw compare to commercial one offer by Hechai ,

Russia customer visiting the plant and oversee the production of the engine they are getting.

James Bond car come true.

It sounds very promising for amphibious operation. You charge at 70km/h on sea from LHD at 40km away from beach/landing area. Once on land, you charge at high speed of 100km/h to secure radius of 20km square area,flush out small arms resistant for more heavy equipment landing subsequently.

Its all about speed.

The MTU 20V 956TB92 diesel engines used on the type 052d destroyer generates 6000kw, according to wiki, so its still some way to go for China.

I don’t think this particular Diesel engine is intended for installation on 052D. I’m pretty sure these engines have different parameters for different warships, so a smaller power generation makes sense.

That's why I put "some way to go" instead of "long way to go", since it is not of urgent need, but will be useful to have local design and production of the whole range because there may be restrictions on export to 3rd countries for licensed production engines.

Hi, The most difficult part about making a 30MW gas turbine engine for 052D has materialized. It a matter of needed anot for a similar one. The German end the license production of a similar high speed diesels engine which forces Hechai to design and produced this one.

Then u also need to consider the high speed Diesel engine weight vs output power. If the German counterpart weights double or even more than the Chinese one while produces only 6000kw then I don't think it's some cutting edge too difficult for Chinese.

I think license production means China can manufacture the whole engine but don't own the IP. Hence we can't export it.

this is the license-produced diesel engine, which entirely manufactured in china . again, those anti-chinese media and critics (mostly US media and americans) always carefully see if china make everything their own . yes we do ! and yes we will ! make sure we are far much stronger than those which import everything from elsewhere (such as india . singapore . taiwan . arab . africa . and else)

China building more Yuyi-class LCACs

Richard D Fisher Jr - Jane's Defence Weekly

30 November 2017

Commercial satellite imagery of China’s Jiangnan Shipyard near Shanghai shows that the country is producing additional Yuyi-class (Type 726/726A) air-cushioned landing craft (LCACs).

Five Type 726As that appeared to be nearly completed could be seen at the yard on 24 November.

Six Yuyi-class LCACs are believed to be in service with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), with the first one (3320) being seen at the end of 2007. It is thought that the vessels were delivered in two batches, with the first three LCACs reportedly powered by Ukrainian UGT 6000 engines, while the remaining three are believed to use the indigenous QC-70 gas turbines.

Up to four Yuyi-class LCACs can be carried in the well deck of the 210 m-long Yuzhao-class (Type 071) landing platform dock (LPD). The first of these 20,000-tonne amphibious assault ships was commissioned in 2007, and a fifth LPD, which was recently launched at Shanghai’s Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard, is expected to be commissioned in 2018.

One reported reason for the lag in Type 726 production could be technical difficulties with the integration of the QC-70 engines.

Designed with assistance from the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, the Type 726 looks similar to the US Navy’s LCAC, but is larger and has its driving/command module located on the port side instead of the starboard side.
