Rare instance of the modified 072III LST Haiyangshan (#936) serving as a sea-based railgun test platform for the PLAN seen on the move. The photo was taken sometime within this month.

Clearer look of the high-power laser mounted behind the 76mm gun on the 071 LPD #986 Simingshan, with a semispherical structute covering it when not deployed. Posted by @sugar_wsnbn on Twitter.
