Chinese shipbuilding industry

It seems to me fairly accurate, but I also can't confirm some of the stuff like Type 901 or the submarines. It claims that 2 093B have been launched, but I've only seen evidence of 1 thus far.

Hmmm.

IS this supposed to represent what will be building in 2015?

This is an interesting item:

1 x Porte-avions de Type 001A

Is that the carrier?

Yes, and yes.

I think it's meant to show ships in 2015 that either are currently or will be under some kind of fabrication, assembly, launch, fitting out, or sea trials by a shipyard.

And I think the assumption is that 001A is in early stages of fabrication... but who knows, we've been guessing for the last five to ten years.

What a nice shot of some really nice ships

I hope we can see all 4 x Type 071 LPD in a single shot that would be awesome !

Here's a picture from WC and by all account seems to be the 3rd LST launched

Looks like PLAN is seriously modernising it's landing fleet

From previous pictures here was 981 and 982 this could be 983

What class in your posts ? PLAN get many LST classes precise it please

This is referred to as Yuting III class or Type 072A

Currently there is
3 x Type 072
4 x Type 072 II
10 x Type 072 III
and 9 x Type 072A

With another 3 units launched recently that means so far 9+3 = 12 x Type 072A

So total fleet is 29 x Type 072 of all classes

However these units might replace the older original 3 x Type 072 so fleet size remains at 26 units

Can some Chinese member translate the specification from this website

How many troops and vehicles can this LST hold and also what is size of well deck etc and any other information

Certainly a very capable vessel
