Thank you for your help guys. Here is the article, I hope all is accurate


China launched its 4th Type 071 LPD, its 21st Type 054A Frigate and its 5th Type 815G ELINT vessel
Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, a wholly owned subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC, the largest shipbuilding group in China), launched on the same day near Shanghai three new vessels for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN or Chinese Navy): The fourth Type 071 landing platform dock (Yuzhao-class LPD), the twenty-first Type 054A Frigate (Jiangkai II class) and the fifth Type 815G ELINT/SIGINT vessel.

On the same day China launched 3 military vessels (representing over 32,000 tons combined) showing to the world its naval shipbuilding industry's might.

Hi navyreco, a few of the specs for 071 LPD for that article are a little misleading/old (sourced from wikipedia?)

Type 071 (Yuzhao-class) LPD are the main amphibious platforms of the PLAN. They displace 20,000 tons, measure 210 meters long and 28 meters wide. The ship complement is 120 sailors.
Each Type 071 has the capacity to accomodate one marine battalion, including 500 to 800 troops, and 15 to 20 amphibious armored vehicles. The well deck may hold four Yuyi-class LCAC.
The ship is armed with one 76 mm gun and four 30 mm close-in weapon systems.

For one, we know the full displacement of a 071 is much more than 20,000 tons, anywhere from 24,000 (low end estimate) to 29,000 (deep displacement claimed at their UK visit). It's also a solid confirmation that the well deck is designed to carry 4 LCACs, not a "may". From the recent stop at the UK, we also know the ship can carry a maximum of 65 AAVs. You didn't mention anything about helicopters, but it can also supposedly carry 6 Z-8s (super frelon sized helicopters). Complement is also 156 sailors + 23 officers, but hey, who's counting.

Is this ship different to the one which was launched at HD along with LPD and FFG?
