re: PLAN Type 071 LPD & its Landing Craft

where did you get that image from? I just got the latest photos for 999 and it is not showing those little flags. The main issue I have with 999 being commissioned is that I have never even seen it sail off for a sea trial.

Here are the 3rd Type 071. It's probably 2 to 3 months away from being launched if we go by what we saw with the 2nd one.

That picture was obviously taken after the ship was launch. You can see the ball thingy at the bow, which is used to celebrate the launch of a ship. You can also see the bridge windows haven't been cut out yet.

cool, this is your article.
新华网江西频道7月18日电 据江西日报报道,中国人民解放军海军最大战舰 “井冈山”战舰日前在上海正式下水。

据了解,“井冈山”舰长210米,宽28米,排水量19000吨,是目前海军排水量最大的综合船坞登陆舰。记者得知,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。“井冈山”舰可以搭载军用直机、装甲战车、舰战汽艇和近千名登陆士兵,以及用于成建制输送登陆兵及其武器装备。

So the new ship is called JingGangShan. It is 210 m long, 28 m wide and has displacement of 19000 ton. It says that it can carry helicopter, armored vehicle, Cushioned boat and around 1000 landing troops.

^^^ That is the third LPD. I don't recall a 'Forth mountain ' in china though. Probably lost in translation.

is it me or does this look like the side view of the 3rd LPD? is there any pics confirming the 4th one?
Tphuang posted the following pic further upthread. It shows the third one clearly, with shipyard activity behind it that is supposedly the fourth one.

With this third one coming out so quickly, I do not dobt that a fourth one may well have already been started. The PLAN clearly likes their new San Antonio-like LPDs and are into serial production of them. They look like fine ships.

See this page for pics, side by side, looking at the Yuzhao and San Antonio LPDs (scroll down):
