The PLAN LCAC Type 726 Yuyi Class

That's not entirely accurate Korko.

Bora Class guided missile Hovercraft.

Doesnt make much sense to build a hovercraft anti-ship/anti-submarine vessel. Too costly and little endurance for it. There is a reason no navy deploys them.

Most probably PLAN will base them in hainan and deploy them to the SCS/Taiwan vicinity if needed.

Isn't it more insulting to David Axe to suggest that accusing someone of being David Axe is an insult?

Alright guys, I was asking a serious question.

Call it a hunch, but I thought there was a (small) chance that Kroko might just be David Axe himself.

Those ships are not quite hovercraft, but rather a surface effect ship (kinda semi-hovercraft)

Besides they are a soviet era design, made for black sea/baltic sea operations and only two were built. Even the article you mention say that these vessels are probably not effective combat units.

Why hasnt any other navy in the world deployed this kind of ships?

huh, do you have something to add to this thread or are you just trolling?

they have albeit smaller scale and only one nation.
Skjold-class coastal corvettes, Oksøy-class mine hunters both Norwegian.

The article on the Bora class was last updated in 2000. No news since then suggests the project failed and that certainly the Black Sea variant hasn't yet appeared.
