Any idea where they will be deployed?
Type 075 LHD discussion
- Thread starter nosh
- Start date
Eh, the Dems have become hawks since Trump was elected, so tensions are likely to remain high.
According to Chinese wikipedia there will be a second batch.
Edit: I see it's already mentioned by weig2000.
They always have been hawks. The period of engagement with China running from 1978 - 2011 had not only the goal of exploitation of cheap labour but they also engaged in the hope of a soft regime change of CCP. The soft regime change so far has not succeeded so they have turned their cards from engagement to confrontation. This period of 'strategic opportunity' of 1978 - 2011 allowed China to escape the rampant poverty and grow to a middle income country. We now at least have some fat on our bodies.

Especially with the likes of Cotton, Rubio, and Pompeo with Presidential aspirations in 2024.
Status quo remains regardless who's president next year or next four years. Because as time moves on, the gap shrinks so cost of war grows for the US. Nothing will happen regardless of whose in change. China will keep churning out ships in numbers and US will keeping doing their thing and the world moves on.
Now let's leave the political discussions out of this place.

Will the type 076 be based somewhat on this ship?
There is an old type-76 thread that has some discussion and fanboy illustrations. I am betting on an angle landing deck.
Yes, according to retired PLA Zhang zhaozhong, there will likely be around 20 075s in total, they are very cheap(054A level) and easy to build.
