The People’s Liberation Army has a long and successful history of Hip operations, and now it’s set to receive new variants of the type.
China built its first big-deck amphibious assault ship in a remarkable amount of time. With another now in the water, the first has begun sea trials.
The blaze struck while the ship was tied up to the pier at Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding in Shanghai.
A Japanese shipbuilder has unveiled a design for a future landing helicopter dock amphibious assault ship, or LHD, that it plans to pitch to the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, or JMSDF. Though the Japanese government has not publicly expressed an interest in such a vessel, this pitch comes as the country is working to expand its maritime and amphibious capabilities, with particularly notable plans to modify its Izumo class “helicopter destroyers” to support robust naval aviation operations that will include detachments of F-35B Joint Strike Fighters.
Some five months after the first pictures emerged of its keel under construction, China has launched its first Type 075 landing helicopter dock amphibious assault ship, or LHD, at the Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard in Shanghai. The speed with which the Chinese have been able to proceed with the construction is as impressive as the ship’s size, which will significantly increase the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s amphibious warfare capabilities, and the China State Shipbuilding Corporation is already building a second example.
The vessels will give China a high-end amphibious assault capability that can be used both regionally and far from home.
