Type 076 LHD/LHA discussion
- Thread starter banjex
- Start date
It is only one large dock without any water-tight separation barriers. Either everything float or none.
See the photo taken from post #1,132
Floated yes, floated out no.
Cross-posted from the 054/A FFG thread - The 076 LHD remained inside the drydock today.

The overhangs on both sides are massive. You don't see that in any other LHA even the America class which operate as light carriers.
The Type 076 looks more straight-deck carrier than just a helo platform. Especially with the catapult.
A flyover view of the Hudong-Zhonghua drydock, taken 4 days ago. The work shed can be seen assembled alongside the 076 LHD. Hull modules belonging to 054AG FFG and/or 054-mod cutter can be seen placed to the left of the drydock.

Some indications of parts on the twin superstructure island modules. Posted by @鼎盛大彪 on Weibo.
From the white-colored phrase in the 12-o'clock position, going clockwise:
1. (White, arrows only) Bridge of the front island superstructure
2. (White, arrows only) Dispatch-&-command center on the upper left side of the rear island superstructure
3. (Green, arrow and circle) (Base of) mast of the rear island superstructure
4. (Yellow, arrow and rectangle) Flat exhaust pipe openings on the rear side of the rear island superstructure
5. (Green, arrow and circle) (Base of) mast of the front island superstructure
6. (Yellow, arrow and rectangle) Flat exhaust pipe openings on the rear side of the front island superstructure
I.e. pretty close to what Big Bun CG has illustrated in his CG model of the 076 LHD's island superstructures, so far.
