Where is Asif Igbal?

Hongjian at CDF just posted what could be type 75 picture out in the open. After many false start It could be it with big IF. It has the contour of LHD or Bulk Carrier

Anyone? go there and download the photo

Holy Smokey!!! theres a angle here, the site looks like it has the set-up for a carrier or very large LHD

this is a big development and it seems like its gone un-noticed up till now, a Chinese flat top which is displaceing some serious tonnage

btw its not "g" its "q", its Asif Iqbal

ReLAN LHD/LPH/LHA discussion

This is what I think it is.



The superstructure of a merchant vessel...

Some one will ask, What's the large open area in the middle on the thumbnail photos? I'll say, that's for the bridge and future compartments.

And if I'm wrong I'll be the first to admit it. I hope it is a CV/LHD/LHP/LHA..I really do.

Re: PLAN LHD/LPH/LHA discussion

I would suggest to wait and see we don't want to look foolish if its a large cargo ship or something else.

it all depends on how much China wants to show, no one seen Y-20 or J-20 coming, we see only what Chinese authoritys want us to see

J-31 was paraded around on a back of a truck through inner citys we all seen, obviously the authoritys have control over what they want and do not want to show, and also when to show

I really don't see how you fellows get an CV/LHD/LPH/LHA out of those photos. Really.. Has anything in those photos been confirmed as an CV/LHD/LPH/LHA?

And that link to Shanghai Hobby does not load up..for me.

These pics of the cross section are pics that have come out since the one that started all of the discussion.

That one is a little more intriguing. Here it is:


I have blown this up and enhanced it. Still, the shadows and what not make it hard to tell if the structure on the starboard side amidships is an isand, and if the aft port quarter indentation is an elevator. They could easily be just structure of a cargo/container type vessel.

But the shadows do make it look an awful lot like an LHD/LPH at this distance and we will know soon enough because it looks well along.

Yeah, but we're just guessing for fun, lets see who's going to get it right and what not.



I noticed something, why is the ship painted in PLAAN grey when it's not completed (where at least all the modules are put together)? The bow section hasn't even came in yet.

Re: PLAN LHD/LPH/LHA discussion

I agree with BD Popeye, the modules look like they are some sort of superstructure for large cargo ships. Probably for the partially completed cargo ship hull that's located right in front of them.

Re: PLAN LHD/LPH/LHA discussion

I have noticed some asymmetricality and a waterline. The left part is composed by straight lines but on the right there are some curves.
