075 LHD thread

[Deino]

I'm not entirely sure but maybe this comparison could allow an estimation of the third Type 075 LHD's launch: It shows the first vessel on 20. July 2019 ... and as such about two months before launch, which took place on 25. September 2019.

So IMO launch of no. 03 at around mid-December is likely.

Hi Deino,

That was fast, is there an urgency? Looks like they are preparing for a major contingency.

Hi Deino,

Drydock time is valuable. The sooner they get the ship to leave the dock, the sooner they can start the next project. Which translates to more yuan.

One reason why they may want the drydock cleared out quickly would be to start the Thai Navy Type 071E, if they are not planning to build a fourth 075.

In my mind they cleaned off the barnacles from the hull, so now they can do full speed trials on the ship. That's some fast hull work.

I do remember saying that China will build 3 x Type 075 in one year

and also have then launched in 6 month intervals

guess I was right again
