071 LPD thread

High-resolution images of the laser/direct energy weapon installed on a Type 071. Most likely it's being used as a test platform.

Here's that same ship from the air, which gives a much better look at the modified platform on which the direct energy weapon is mounted.

A nice magazine scan.

I’d guess it’s that bigger landing craft you’re talking about—it looks like it could handle heavier loads and might be their best option right now. If not, maybe they’re working on something new we haven’t seen yet, especially since the Type 724 and 722 are out of the picture. A vehicle lander would make sense too, especially for versatility. I remember seeing a blurry photo of something similar a while back, but no real details came with it. Hard to say for sure without more solid info.

Four type 726 LCACs in the well deck, the most I remember seeing.

Four type 726 LCACs in the well deck, the most I remember seeing.

Gone are the days when we used to debate and argue wether or not the Type 071 LPD can take 4 x Type 726 LCAC or not

also gone are the days when we used to debate if the Type 726 can carry a load into the well deck

I miss those days

but I believe it was around 2013/4 when we seen the 4 green/red lights inside the well deck indicating that indeed it can take 4 x LCAC

nevertheless its good to see
