Recently, the picture of social ** circulation shows thatOn the dockside of the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard, China's fourth domestically produced Type 075 amphibious assault ship has been launchedThis also marks the official completion of the Type 075 amphibious assault ship "Four Sisters".

Once upon a time, the "small flat top" equipped by the United States made Chinese fans envious, and the 40,000-ton Wasp-class amphibious assault ship even surpassed the light aircraft carriers of many countries in terms of scale. Even Japan has built two Izumo-class aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons. But in comparisonNow China's Type 075 amphibious assault ships also have a displacement of 40,000 tons, which has already surpassed the Izumo-class, which Japan is converting into aircraft carriers. Compared with the Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, the 075 ship has almost the same hull size.

Regarding the combat effectiveness of the 075 ship, the Global Times has been introduced in a previous articleThis kind of large amphibious ship is known as a "small aircraft carrier", and its personnel and equipment carrying capacity is extremely strong, capable of delivering 1,000 people to land combat troops, and the dock can also accommodate a large number of air-cushion landing craft, amphibious tank armored vehicles, etc. The deck and hangar can accommodate up to 30 aircraft***, which can fully meet the needs of a large-scale delivery combat operation. Therefore, the 075 ship is believed to enhance the PLA's sea-crossing combat capability and make experts on the island on the other side believe that it is more worthy of attention than aircraft carriers.

is such a 40,000-ton "small flat top", but it can make dumplings as usual. The No. 4 ship, which was launched this time, was built in only six months. There is no doubt that Hudong-Zhonghua has accumulated a large technical base for the shipbuilding industry, and has been able to complete the construction of such large ships with ease.

Perhaps even more anticipated now is the upcoming Type 076 amphibious ship. The Global Times once quoted foreign media sourcesAfter the 075 ship, the new 076 ship may be "reborn". Because the positioning of the 075 ship is still the "** mothership", it should not be considered for the time being. But the 076 ship is different, it is possible that it will be a STOVL aircraft carrier, capable of carrying fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft.

Foreign media articles even speculated that the 076 ship may be the type of ship that will be electromagnetically ejected. Although there are no domestic short take-off and landing fighters in service at present, the new Fujian ship has brought us good news, that is, the performance of the electric bomb system has been verified. In the future, the electric bomb technology used by the Fujian ship may also be applied to the 076 ship, so that a shortcut can be found for the 076 ship to carry fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft. It can even be said that the 076 ship will develop to a greater extent to the role of an aircraft carrier.
