The well deck opening appears to be wider than that of the Type 071 LPD. It gives the Type 726 LCAC more clearance on either side.

Does 726 have rotating air thrust for direction control like LCAC? The ones on 726 seems fixed if that's air thrust at all.

No, we watched the full video. That location is right behind the gun with a open door and I’m sure a lot of the sound transfers through the metallic hull as well, would be incredibly loud in such a confined space. The sound of the gun even blows out the cameras mic and you can hear the static.

and if I’m understanding her correctly she is saying that it’s standard op for the guy to have the door open observing the gun while it fires? That seems like a even greater argument to have mandatory hearing protection.
I'm glad it is now in the news, so the PLAN will become more careful about ear protections in the future (and also not allowing folks to stand so close to a naval weapon when it is firing.

What makes you think it's a new marine corps base? It's just a pier to park ships that's close to the shipyard.
What about those massive warehouses, the admin building, and the barracks inside the new compound/base? It is bigger than just a repairing/logistical facility.

Okay, but does that make it a new marine corps base?

I ask, because I haven't heard anything about such a base being built there, and seeing those buildings and facilities, I do not automatically come to the conclusion of "it's a new marine corps base" -- my conclusion is "those are some buildings and facilities whose purpose we do not know".
