The first one was at this stage of completion in late July.
So this may very well launch in March.

That's a bit of time. I tend to think a bit later than March. Although chance is low, I am curious if on the second ship, they would use the new radar spotted on the test ship 891.

Definitely a quick time

only thing is 3rd has not started so there might be a gap between 2nd and 3rd

These LHD's are getting built at such a tremendously... terrifyingly slow rate.

Turkey never built such a ship they launched in 12 months

China doing it in 6 is not too surprising, Spain also did it fast with RAN two units

with modular construction and design LHD construction is normally fast

Are people implying there is a massive slowdown in the second ones launch?

So what are they gonna be named ? After mountains or something ? Really great ship Trumpeter should make a model out of it 1/700 scale

Do we know anything about this radar? The first two images show the PLAN's integration/test ship. The radar appears visually similar to the one installed on the 075. Could be from the same family.
