The PLAN LCAC Type 726 Yuyi Class

They also need to have the two forward omnidirectional thrusters that the USN LCACs have which would improve maneuverability significantly.

That's too bad, really. I was hoping they would use the 726 as a springboard for a new, more efficient class of ACV with 2 or even 3 rows. That kind of ACV would be a massive force multiplier for any ship that uses them.

I'd like to see some of these close and see if they have pennant numbers on them.

I am just wondering. We know of only very specific pennant numbers so far and a small number of them at that.

Ae these new? Or are they the old ones there for work?

Is that new one ?
KCAndrew estimate
So 3320,21,22,23,24(existing),(25,26,27,28 four Zubhr), 29,30,31,32,...(new as shown on the picture above)
The 3332 did exist as shown on this video so I presume the preceding serial number of 3329,3330,3331

We can see in this picture the width of the type 726 easily accommodate type 99 tanks

Manned AAA? Wounder if they'll upgrade with remote controlled guns sometime in the future.
