Smaller than Izumo? How come?

Izumo 248m length and 38m beam with 27000 ton full load while type 075 is supposed to be 40000 ton.

Simply these are the facts ... maybe the 40 displacement is wrong?

Japanese have always minimised their navy ships' tonnage and type description. Izumo's 27,000 tonnes is very likely an empty displacement weight (i.e. without weight of all types of loads such as fuel, water, personnel, air assets, munitions etc), while type 075's rumoured weight is probably a standard displacement weight or maximum loads weight.

Note that type 075's weight is comparable to US navy ships while Izumo is extra-ordinary light comparing with Chinese and US ships.

Type 071 is more than 22,000 tons, it is shorter, narrower and lower than type 075.

Also, Izumo is officially classified as a DDH, (helicopter destroyer) instead of a landing ship. Japanese behaviour is due to their anti-war constituency after WW2 prohibiting them from acquiring offensive weapons such as aircraft carrier and amphibious assault ships.
