The third 075 appeared

my country’s first 075 amphibious assault ship was launched in 2019, ushering in a new era of naval amphibious landing operations. The second 075 amphibious assault ship was launched in 2020, and the second 075 was launched at the same time. There is news of a new generation of amphibious assault ship 076, so some netizens think: As the first amphibious assault ship built in our country, the 075 itself has a certain experimental nature, so its number may stop at two, and it will be launched next. The construction of 076.

075 The third ship reveals the true face

Recently, pictures of my country’s third 075 ship appeared on the Internet. From the pictures, we can see that the construction of the third 075 hull is almost complete. 075 adopts a modular construction method. Although what we see is only the ship hull, its ship island will be constructed in another place synchronously. As long as the construction progress of the ship hull meets the requirements, the ship island can be directly moved and assembled. can. The speed of the first two 075s can be described as "sweeping speed", and with the accumulation of experience of the first two, the construction of the third ship will only be faster!

075 performance is several times 071

The construction of 075 has enabled my country to have two large amphibious ships at the same time. Among them, the number of 071 dock landing ships has reached 8. So, both are amphibious ships, what is the difference in performance between 071 and 075? First of all, if you only look at the nature of the ship, you can regard the 075 as an enlarged version of 071 with a through-deck. The internal structure of the 075 is roughly the same as that of the 071. More ship-borne helicopters, 075 added more equipment such as elevators.

075 in sea trial

Although the structure is relatively close, the combat power of 075 is several times that of 071! First of all, the displacement of 075 is twice that of 071. The larger displacement means stronger carrying capacity. It is reported that 075 can carry a land battle battalion of about 2,000 people or dozens of light armored vehicles at a time, but this is only the largest carrying capacity. Ability, in fact, the 075’s delivery method is very flexible. It can simultaneously carry personnel, armored vehicles and "Mustang" air cushion landing craft. This combined delivery method can greatly improve the efficiency of beach landing.

075 The first ship conducts the second sea trial

Compared with the 071, the second advantage of the 075 is the through-deck design. The 075 can carry up to about 20 helicopters when supporting land fire or attacking in depth. In the helicopter-based delivery mode, the most typical configuration of the 075 is 6 Wuzhi 10 and Zhi 20 each, plus four Zhi 19 and Zhi 18F anti-submarine/minesweeping helicopters each, so that both fire strike missions can be carried out. For the projection of troops in the depths of the land, and can carry out anti-submarine alert at the same time, the function of the 4 Zhi 19 is to reinforce the Wu Zhi 10 or Zhi 20 according to changes in actual demand.

075 carried out the details

Next or will build 076

Now that the third 075 has been built, how many 075 will be in the future? The answer may be 3 ships! The construction of the first three 075 ships was completed by Hudong Shipyard. According to the previous plan, Hudong Shipyard will move to Changxing Island as a whole. Judging from the current progress of the third 075, all construction sea trials will be completed. By the end of next year, the next to be built after the completion of the shipyard relocation may be the 076 amphibious assault ship.

076 or will carry a large number of drones

The tonnage of the 075 has reached 40,000 tons. Judging from the attributes of the amphibious assault ship, the tonnage of the 076 will not change much, but the specific details will be improved. Therefore, the construction of the first three 075 076 has accumulated experience It will also go very smoothly. 076 and 075 have little change from tonnage to their own performance, but there will be obvious differences in carrying, such as innovatively carrying out drones on ships, using drones to complete the tasks of vertical take-off and landing carrier aircraft.
