Purely out of idle speculation, does anyone know if the Type 71's dock is capable of carrying a number of type 022's rather than landing craft?
“井冈山”舰在上海下水2010-12-01 08:21 作者:井冈山市民政局办公室
11月18日,由中国人民解放军海军命名的“井冈山”舰在上海市浦东举行了隆重的下水仪式,海装舰艇部王培生副部长、井冈山市人民政府副市长肖建军、井冈山市双拥办应邀参加仪式,仪式上肖建军副市长代表井冈山市向该舰赠送了慰问金和慰问品。
“井冈山”舰是一艘综合船坞登陆舰,用于成建制输送登陆兵及其武器装备,实施快速、立体、机动登陆作战, 舰长210米,宽28米,排水量19000吨。
中国人民解放军海军能以“井冈山”命名该舰,充分体现了部队官兵对井冈山红色革命根据地的厚爱和褒扬,是对井冈山精神的继承和发扬,增强了老区人民与部队的鱼水之情,对新时期井冈山双拥工作具有重大意义。
Well, just found this article. I guess this is official. It's name is that. According to this article, Type 071 is 210 m long, 28 m wide and have displacement of 19000 tons.
most recent photo of 999. I haven't really spotted anything new to report on it. I've read some speculations that HQ-10 is supposed to appear on this thing, but have seen no sign of it thus far.
Oh I think HQ-10 won't be too unrealistic -- they're being put on the varyag and the 056 corvettes after all.I noticed the original 071 is from the same "generation" as the 054, with Type 360/363 radar, AK-630 CIWS, and HQ-7 SAM. Since the PLAN has upgraded the sensors and CIWS on 054A, I'm curious to see if the new 071 LPD would follow. HQ-10 is unrealistic though.
