And? What's so special about a standard machine gun mount that has been equipped on PLAN ships for at least 13 years?

A nice magazine scan. Self-explanatory.

A few more from different angles.

Side-by-side replenishment



between a Type 903 supply ship and a Type 054A frigate

Operating refueling gantries on a Type 903A supply ship. A very rare image.

Big (Type 901) vs. small (Type 056):

Type 054A FFG-571 Yuncheng kept a distance of 51.8 meters from a Type 901 fast combat support ship.

no doubt after the Carriers the Type 901 support ship is the largest and heaviest asset in the PLAN inventory

they could do with another 2 of these units, dual hangers gives them good VERTREP capability

the two hangers look large enough to hold 2 x Z8L helicopters

2 x ultra heavy lift helicopters would be a good asset to the naval aviation

Someone noticed this on Twitter but its interesting I saw no related comments here yet: the 901 combat support ship in picture is numbered 905, so presumably they re-numbered either 965 or 967?

Just a nice image that shows off the size of the Type 901 fleet support ship.
