075 LHD thread
- Thread starter nosh
- Start date
Other than the seemingly unofficial confirmation that said LHD is the 4th 075 instead of the 1st 076 - To the starboard side of the LHD's hull, are those two 054B hulls, or one 054B hull for the PLAN and one 054A hull for the CCG?
Thanks for the aerial photos, quite large hulls, hope they both are 054B. Time will tell
Does anyone know what the minimum and ideal lift requirements (in terms of Marine Corps divisions and/or battalions) are for the PLAN?
Like, for example, the USN has a MINIMUM lift requirement for 1 Marine Corps division + 1 Marine Corps battalion and an IDEAL requirement for 2 Marine Corps divisions (one for the Atlantic theatre and one for the Pacific) + 1 Marine Corps battalion (for the Indian Ocean theatre). Their fleet of large-sized Amphibious vessels is supposed to be based on this ideal requirement of 2 divisions + a battalion but because the large ships ended up being too expensive, a fleet suitable for lifting only 1.5 divisions (which is just one more Marine Corps battalion better than their minimum requirement) could be built and sustained in active service (though their Reserve Fleet of retired vessels could very well do another 0.5-0.75 division if required). Which is why the Marine Corps have been shouting these past few years for increased lift capacity and are forcing the USN to come up with a new class of smaller (6000t-8000t) Amphibious vessels for their Pacific theatre island-hopping campaign requirements.

China's Type 075 LHD-31 Hainan, with two possible easter eggs(?) hinted by the PLAN.

Possible Easter Egg #1 - Claimed to be a tail horizontal stabilizer of the naval variant of Z-20:
Possible Easter Egg #2 - Claimed to be the folded rotor blades and the rotor hub of a helicopter drone:
Anyone knows the model name for this helicopter drone, if the claim is true?

it does mean Z20 is working on 075 right now
Looks like it. Being brought up on the Forward ammo/stores lifts. Possibly for the Z-20.

Hainan has a digital touchscreen ouija board for flight deck control. The model helicopters appear to activate touch manuals when they're placed on the board. Also note each model helicopter has a number dial on its base, which might be used to displays the tail number.
More images of the touchscreen ouija board for flight deck control.
