075 LHD thread

[antiterror13]

Has China the time to wait?

why need to wait?, it relatively easy (compare to real carrier i.e CV-17) to operate. Similar to type 071 which China has been operating since 2007

I don't think so, if it will be similar to the Liaoning and Shandong, they will get their names with commissioning.

Just a quick question, as I havn't been on here so regularly recently..........is there a 3rd 075 currently in construction, or due soon to start?

 

[Intrepid]

No.

no there is not

and I dont know why as there is space for a second and third side by side

as a matter of fact the 1st and 2nd were side by side

they could have launched the 3rd this year

but I know why China doesnt want to have too many LHD, because they simply dont have enough helicopters

as it stands with 8 x LPD and 2 x LHD thats about 1 helicopter each !! shocking I know

No. 2 is in the water!
