does anyone think this ship could be used as the base for a new cruiser?

Also has construction started on any more type 071 yet?

A cruiser needs gas turbines for better top speed, so at best the hull design would need to be modified for that. As for more 071s the last I heard was at least one more was under construction.

It seems to me a more natural progression for PLAN is to build a couple of LHD before completing construction on the indigenous carrier.

If so, the Varyag would be launched first, to be a testing / training platform. Then a pair LHD will be launched (maybe in 2 or 3 years). Finally, a pair of carriers will be launched (maybe in 5 or 6 years).

They should build a couple of LHD/LHA. That's more effective and flexable, and should be technologically feasible now.

Also a couple of LHD/LHA is useless without airshield and ground attack capacitiy

This information below is readily available on line.

The USS New York LPD-17 is an San Antonio class LPD.

San Antonio is one of the classes of vessels planned to receive the SSDS (ship self-defence system) mk2 being developed by Raytheon for the US Navy. SSDS will be an integration of all the ship's self-defence systems and will include multi-function radar, advanced integrated electronic warfare system and infrared search and track system (IRST).

LPD 22, the sixth of the class, is scheduled to be the first ship to receive the complete system, which will be retrofitted to the rest of the class. SSDS is also to be fitted to the US Navy projected new carriers (CVN 76) and destroyers (DD-X).

The ship is equipped with a fibre-optic shipboard wide area network (SWAN) from Raytheon, which connects ship systems, sensors and combat systems to the ship’s command consoles.

In February 2004, Harris Corporation was awarded a contract to provide high-frequency (HF) radio broadband communications systems for the San Antonio Class.

The ship is equipped with the AN/SLQ-25A Nixie towed decoy system, from Argon ST of Fairfax, Virginia, and the Mk 53 Nulka decoy launching system, developed by the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation in Canberra and Lockheed Martin Sippican in Massachusetts.

Nulka is a hovering rocket system, which seduces incoming missiles away from the ship.

The Raytheon AN/SLQ-32A (V) 2 ESM (Electronic Support Measures) system is a detection and jamming system which provides surveillance, warning and electronic countermeasures against missile attack. LPD 22 and later vessels will be fitted with the advanced integrated electronic warfare system (AIEWS).
Sensors

The ship's radars include: ITT AN/SPS-48E three-dimensional air search radar operating at C/D band, Lockheed Martin AN/APQ-9B surface surveillance and tracking radar operating at I band, Raytheon AN/SPS-64(V)9 navigation radar operating at I band and two Northrop Grumman Norden Systems AN/SPS-73 surface search radar operating at I-band
