re 022: it seems more practical to use a heavy lift vessel to carry these things. In time of tension you need your 071 for other tasks. In time of peace you might hire a Dutch heavy lift vessel. Does China have any heavy lift vessels?

Might be able to fix anti ship missiles onto modified cushion crafts if that's what's being implied.

Purely out of idle speculation, does anyone know if the Type 71's dock is capable of carrying a number of type 022's rather than landing craft?

Well based on magazine print outs posted earlier in this thread (pg15), the 071's well deck is at least 16m wide. The 022 is 12m wide. The height is less then 15m, so it should be able to physically fit. The biggest issue would be the draft. 022 requires at least 1.5m. I doubt the 071's well floods that deep.

most recent photo of 999. I haven't really spotted anything new to report on it. I've read some speculations that HQ-10 is supposed to appear on this thing, but have seen no sign of it thus far.

Is there any news or official announcement to confirm what name the 999 will be called? Heard that on the 18th November it was named as the 井岡山 (Jinggangshan) in the launch ceremony.

“井冈山”舰在上海下水2010-12-01 08:21 作者:井冈山市民政局办公室
11月18日,由中国人民解放军海军命名的“井冈山”舰在上海市浦东举行了隆重的下水仪式,海装舰艇部王培生副部长、井冈山市人民政府副市长肖建军、井冈山市双拥办应邀参加仪式,仪式上肖建军副市长代表井冈山市向该舰赠送了慰问金和慰问品。

“井冈山”舰是一艘综合船坞登陆舰,用于成建制输送登陆兵及其武器装备,实施快速、立体、机动登陆作战, 舰长210米,宽28米,排水量19000吨。

中国人民解放军海军能以“井冈山”命名该舰,充分体现了部队官兵对井冈山红色革命根据地的厚爱和褒扬,是对井冈山精神的继承和发扬,增强了老区人民与部队的鱼水之情,对新时期井冈山双拥工作具有重大意义。

Well, just found this article. I guess this is official. It's name is that. According to this article, Type 071 is 210 m long, 28 m wide and have displacement of 19000 tons.

Ah, so it's official. Thanks for the post.

On an off-topic joke...I just have a few laughs with others on the ship numbers and how'd the cities sought after them...heard that back then Shenzhen wanted the 168 named after their city pretty badly, with obvious reasons...then I said the "golden number" would be no other than 998, but that goes to a mountain range...

I noticed the original 071 is from the same "generation" as the 054, with Type 360/363 radar, AK-630 CIWS, and HQ-7 SAM. Since the PLAN has upgraded the sensors and CIWS on 054A, I'm curious to see if the new 071 LPD would follow. HQ-10 is unrealistic though.

Oh I think HQ-10 won't be too unrealistic -- they're being put on the varyag and the 056 corvettes after all.

But from the pictures it looks like 999 is the same as 998 so I suppose the PLAN believes 4 AK-630 is enough.
