075 LHD thread

[ACuriousPLAFan]

Has someone measured the thing yet? I may have missed it.

The drydock is ~50 meters wide (from Google Maps).

Per my very rough measurement of the June 28th satellite imagery, the beam is ~28 meters, and the length is ~190 meters.

If this actually isn't the 075 LHD (which kinda looks like the case for the time being?), then this ship might just be the 3rd 071 LPD of the latest batch (namely, the ship hasn't been fully assembled at the waterline when this photo was taken). Although, I have heard bits and pieces of rumors that this ship might be a different thing...

Maybe another photo a bit earlier.

Probably the most convincing piece of evidence of this being something entirely different is this weird half enclosed moon pool like structure we saw earlier.

If this photo of the smaller drydock at Hudong-Zhonghua is verified to be authentic (instead of CG/PS/AI, further authentication needed), then I think we might be looking at something else...?

via Sean O'Connor from Jane's:

Looks roughly 200m long and 27m wide as of the 28th of June. Possibly has a rear well deck. Could end up as an 071?
Could also be a civilian vessel given where it's being assembled.
....
Does seem to be an 071
