Re: What is that construction?

Originally Zhonghua Shipyards, it merged with Hudong Shipyards in mid 2000, for quick intro see

http://www.hz-shipgroup.com/intro-e.htm

The shipyards builds everything from crude oil cariers & passenger ships to Naval vessels for the PLAN. Most notable/recent of these are the new type 072III and 072II LSTs as well the 054 Ma'anshan Frigates.

http://www.sinodefence.com/navy/amphibious/072iii.asp
http://www.sinodefence.com/navy/surface/054.asp

But I'm not sure if those pictures are that of a military vessel...the shape is so perculiar, looks like a big hanger almost...pretty sure its a ship tho, its on a drydock & it looks to be of modular construction

Re: What is that construction?

That ship looks like a ship my ex-brother in law sailed on for a couple of years. He use to work for Stolt-Nielsen.

Those merchant ships are so different from a warship. Espically reguarding the compartmentation. There are more wide open spaces on those merchants.

Re: What is that construction?

The HD shipyard should be building 054A and 071 LPD right now. Not sure about the ships in the picture though. There should be no stealth ship under construction in this shipyard.

Re: What is that construction?

an lpd??? or a amphibious transport. its hull design certainly doesnt match that of any other plan warships. i wish we could see the front...
the stealth slanting is strange for an lpd, and the hull kinda resembles that of a ddg.
weve been hit with another plan surprise. not everything that is built is announced

Re: What is that construction?

I doubt it is a tanker. I certainly do not see a bridge or signs of a shape of a vessel. I think Iv got it, it must be some sort of structure. Perhaps it might be used to cover up a new ship the PLAN is constructing so no one can take pictures of it or find out what is being consructed, it certainly does not look like a vessel. Dont go haywire, its just a guess.

Re: What is that construction?

or not. your tanker has slanted sides, but they do not fuse with the hull. this ships's sides actually join to the sides, like a warship.
