Re: Type 071 LPD
Sl? I don't remember what Sl stands for, but China isn't the US or UK.
Is it me or does it seem like this was rushed? I remember seeing closed up pix of Russian/Indian hulls vs. Chinese/Korean hulls, and the Russ/Indo hulls had thick amounts of solder and the fit and finish on the hull was bad. I don't remember seeing much lines on the Chinese/Korean example. The look on 071's hull, along with the (apparently) rushed build makes me wonder if they decided to do a "UPS" (If you know what I mean, cheap, fast, but don't deliver fragile things on it.) on this job......
