Really ?? I thought it will gain the number 978 ?

I based my comment on this pic:



I have to say the 071 model looks a bit off though.

988 /Yimeng Shan annouced in service for December

For ESF the first for another fleet than the SSF which have the main part of Amphibious Fleet because get the two Marine Infantry Brigades ( mechanized ) 1st and 164th based to Zhanjiang close to the port where are based the three 071 with much LST rattached to 6th Amphibious Flotilla.

PLA have also some specialized Divisions for Amphibious Assault see this excellent article

Here comes 988, the 4th type 071 LPD.

Yimeng Shan 988 in service now with ESF, 5th AA Flotilla to Shanghai-Qiujiang seems logic directly rattached as others 071 with the 6 th/SSF, only LST in Sqns.

You know it's really great to see it really is

The LPD programme is a robust one and a great one for China

Imagine I was off line in the last week I would have missed so much or I had no internet

Someone coming back in 2016 will have missed so much in December alone

Let's hope 2016 we see the 5th and 6th unit joining the SSF

Then 7th, 8th and 9th to NSF

Then also hope to see LHA programme in 2016

What a finish, what a year for PLAN and for China one can only be happy to see friends rise, we all hear about the "China threat" the only one who fear are the ones who committed crimes against China in the past

Chinese carrier strike group coming

Chinese amphibious ready group in the making
