075 LHD thread

How come the type 075 is not as big as the Wasp or the Italian version? Why are they waiting for the type 075A before they implement the bigger design? This is much like the type 071A and the type 052DL, when they would implement the smaller design for the first batch and the go for for the extended version in the second batch.

Type 075 and Wasp class are very similar in dimension and tonnage , about 250m long and 40k tons

Not sure where did you come up with that statement

Are you sure? At least by this comparison it seems indeed smaller!?

Do we reliably know the ballpark length and tonnage of the 075? Wasp and Izumo can be found here:

Wasp (843ft, 40,500T) is slightly longer but much heavier than Izumo (814ft, 27,000T). If the order of that picture suggests the opposite, it's wrong right off the bat. If 075 is >800 feet, ~40,000T, then it is Wasp-sized and much larger but similarly-lengthed to Izumo.

It appears they’re almost exactly same size as the Wasp. Whether why they didn’t choose to make them as large as the newer America class, I have no idea, but it might be to facilitate building more.

There’s no evidence towards a 2nd batch or alternate designs. I think very early on, someone speculated that some 075 would be built without well deck as helicopter carrying destroyers only (which would have made their weight more in line with the Japanese Izumo), but we can see that the current one has a well deck.

I think this comparison is base on a false assumption from fzgfzy's post via hmmwv on china-defense forum

This is fzgfzy's very confident speculation on the 075.

Full displacement 31,500t, 220m x 32m, two elevators, two 1130, two HQ10, 6 aircraft parking spots plus 6 takeoff spots.

第一,我已经早就说了,满排31500左右。不管你们怎幺说,我也是说我能接触到的而己,不同意见自便,除非我听说了,我不知道的我也不会说。前面的几条071满排2万上下,这些年大家能有共识是各有渠道验证的,后面造的吨位多也多不哪去。某八股写"最大排水量25000",和渠道里见过蓝色图图的有点差异,也没必要细论,反正外面谁也没最真实数据。排水量不包含车辆、飞机、野马。就个壳子,075比071大一万吨,也大了三分一了,差不多了。

第二,就不黑话了,水线约220X32,型深27+舰岛上建6层。外观这个比较容易测量,分段很快就验证本猫预测。
第三,两部外部电梯在机库首尾两端,一部内部电梯在车库和机库之间。车库和机库,车库和坞各有一斜坡连接。各库均独立防火分区。
第四,两门近防炮,两座海拉娒。
第五,六个停机位+六个起飞点,很好了。强突击时很好用,这个验证要拿划线了。

The highlighted part says according to google translator : "waterline 220X32", but the CGI looks more like overall length of 220 meter. If the waterline length is 220 m, the overall length should be in the range of ~240 meter.

Imagine a formation of 1 x LHD plus 2 x LPD and 4 x LST

Type 075, Type 071 and Type 072 III

Alternatively

1 x LHD
2 x LPD
1 x Tanker transiting the Suez

Let's not get into obsession about the size. It's big enough.

It is not an obsession with size. it is about building at the right size right from the very beginning, rather than building an extended version in the second batch.

That is ideal situation, you seldom see that in real life...
