few years ago, I read in an article (don't ask me to find the article, it was so long ago), that China planned to build one LHD for every two LPD type 071 that China built. Not sure if it is true.

LHD can be of great use for Pakistan Navy.

It's a mini power projection asset for air and ground forces.

thanks for the reminder bro.

However, since this is China's first LHD, and considering its amazing building speed, I think it deserves a thread on the Fast East section.

Yup, it looks like crapped Hull in June 2019 and by Sept 2019, bridge is up and Hull painted. That is not fast but out of this world speed. Not only that, they are building 2 of them.

a question about LHDs in general & perhaps the type 075 in particular:- so the vehicle compartment (where APCs, IFVs etc.. are held) is below the helicopter hangar right? & the well deck is right below the vehicle compartment & vehicles can go between the well deck & the vehicle compartment, however can vehicles go further up? that is, is there any can kind of elevator or direct connection between the helicopter hangar & the vehicle compartment? if there is a connection between them then you could even use the type 075 as a pure troop & APC transport ship instead of as a helicopter carrier, that is instead of it carrying helicopters, it would carry nothing but APCs & IFVs even in the helicopter hangar & even on the flight deck.

Take note of the launching slogan banner set up from the bottom left of the photo. Quite sure 24th Sep is the launch date.

 

[lcloo]

The big red lantern is up. Launch count down has started. Will see the big ship in water within 24 hours.

 

[obj 705A]

the ship is good & all, but it's full capabilities as a helicopter carrier will never be realized till it gets a heavy lift helicopter similar to America's Super Stallion, China still doesn't have a helicopter like that, and from the little googling that I did it apears that the Chinese equivalent of the CH-53E won't be ready till the year 2032!

 

[JSCh]

Flags !!

Rumor to launch on 26th Sept. because of the marine notice just published.

#两栖攻击舰首舰下水#

】9月25日上午，我海军首艘两栖攻击舰下水仪式在上海举行。9时20分许，仪式在庄严的国歌声中开始，军地领导共同为两栖攻击舰首舰下水剪彩。剪彩后，香槟酒瓶在舰左舷舷台自动敲碎，舰艏彩球打开，飞行甲板喷射出的彩带随风飘舞，现场船舶鸣笛。与此同时，坞门注水口开启，向船坞内注水。全场响起热烈掌声。该舰是我国自主研制的首型两栖攻击舰，具有较强的两栖作战和执行多样化任务能力。下一步，该舰将按计划开展设备调试、系泊航行试验等工作。（孙晨旭 范鹏羽 李伟 邹晔）

[Heavy! China # amphibious attack ship first ship launched # [憧憬]] On the morning of September 25, the launching ceremony of the first amphibious assault ship of our navy was held in Shanghai. At 9:20, the ceremony began in the solemn national anthem, and the leaders of the military jointly cut the ribbon for the amphibious assault ship. After the ribbon-cutting, the champagne bottle was automatically broken on the ship's port side, the ship's ball was opened, the ribbon ejected from the flight deck danced in the wind, and the ship whistleed. At the same time, the dock door water inlet opens and fills the dock with water. The audience cheered warmly. The ship is the first type of amphibious assault ship independently developed by China, with strong amphibious operations and the ability to perform diverse tasks. Next, the ship will carry out equipment commissioning, mooring and navigation tests as planned. (Sun Chenxu Fan Pengyu Li Wei Zou Wei)

A milestone. Did they mention the specification like tonnage or size.

So far no mention of any specification. Only thing is Global times calling it 40 thousand tonne class.
