075 LHD thread

[crash8pilot]

To be honest, I feel like the type 075 looks kinda ugly. The superstructure seems too sharp with not enough curves and all the different platforms jutting out the side look like pimples

As the founding father of modern China once said, it doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches the mice, well then it is a good cat. I'll leave it at that.

What are the modules that jut out the sides? Radars? Dock mountings?

They have painted part of the forward mast black (see circled part), likely done for cosmetic reasons to make soot buildup less obvious.

In addition to concealing soot buildup, black paint improves the cooling of the surface, due to being a better radiator.

TBH, I like it. It's a different aesthetic and stands out compared to the Western designs.

Again some news from the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard, where the Type 075 LHDs are built and fitted out: Allegedly the lead vessel (no. 01) was transferred to another shipyard or facility nearby.

But could it also be simply its second trail?

Is all the smoke normal?

 

[Hendrik_2000]

Yes It is normal smoke come from incomplete combustion specially at start up when the engine is relatively cool But as it get hotter it will improve the combustion and the smoke will be gone !

Compared to what, the Canberra class for ex?

Or the Russian Ivan Gren, talk about a ugly duck.

I like the superstructure, but the front is too rectangular for me.

Hi UrsusMan,

Same here, it look so ungainly with the design of the superstructure, if they took the front design of Japan IZUMO class or SK DOKDO class it will be aesthetically pleasing, that's my view
