Chinese Navy (PLAN) News & Discussions

Thanks for the info 'Icloo' though i think you need to write your posts using bigger texts fonts.........lol.......:-):woot:o_O

Regarding, the 071 Amphibious ship, we know the 5th one is under construction now, but is there signs of a 6th one yet being built?.......or are the Chinese just going to build these ships one at a time over several years?

If Pop3 is right on the number of 071 (he usually is, since he is an insider with good credibility), then steel cutting and module fabrication of 6th unit must have been in progress.

Since global orders for commercial ships are slowing, I expect the shipyard will move some of their workers and engineers from commercial yard to navy yard in order to cut down idle time for workers and machines. In this view, we might as well expect that work for the 7th unit has begun too.

The latter.

this is the first time I heard about it, any source? though I'm not surprised. I actually expected China to build at least two of this helo carrier, it will significantly enhance China's anti submarine defence.

The new class has been in the rumour mill for a number of years and is now positively confirmed by the same person who first disclosed the existence of Type 075 LHD quite some time back.

is it still in design phase or already close to cut the first steel? I'm just surprised they choose this time to build when they already have so many projects.

I believe there are 2 x 054A's which will be commissioned into the Chinese fleet, late this Spring or early Summer.
If there are to be 30 054A's built, that would suggest the follow on class 054B won't start construction until the end of this decade......which i think is the most likely scenario.
 
.
According to an insider source, 054B with a new propulsion system will appear before end of this year. It will have upgraded electronics but with similar weapon configuration as 054A.

The new propulsion system is likely an all eletric propulsion or a hybrid electric-conventional power propulsion.

Just wait until 3rd or 4th quarter this year to see if it appears or not.
