It is extremely inaccurate such that one hardly knows where to begin...

To give just two examples that immediately leaps to the eye - it claims two 081 are being built and that there are 4 052Cs.

Aren't type 081 planned?

Aren't there more than 2 052C planned ?

So far there's nothing concrete indicate the "081" even exist in any form in the real world, not even any shipbuilder's model that Chinese firm would use to sell such proposal in trade expo - though of course the "LHD club" is a very small one and unsurprisingly, most if not all have serious shipbuilding capability themselves...

So this is designed as a SAR boat with helicopter operation capability.

However, the mentioning of stealth characteristics and lower acoustic signature (as in 3rd paragraph) seems to hint there's more to just SAR mission profile...

Agreed, it also reminds me a lot of the Triton that was built as a trimaran concept ship for the Royal Navy....
