China building 40000 ton helicopter carrier

[Akasa]

" It was rumored in September 2012 that a 40,000t class amphibious assault ship (LHD) similar American Wasp class is being developed."

Does it have place for this

 

[terranMarine]

What's the designation of this attack helicopter?

 

[帅的一匹]

今天早上看新闻中国的海监船的吨位明显比日本的吨位小，小日本海岸警卫队还装备自动炮和机枪。直升机航母多多益善，对登岛作战太有帮助了！中国现在缺的不是钱，是勇气！

There are a couple of competing plans for the LHD，and the PLAN is yet to make a decision on the final design。

The 48000-ton 38-helicopter Proposal is said to be in favour。

Construction to start in 2013？

The development of J-18 - China's VTOL/STOVL aircraft, would be very useful on this.

Just like Japan's plans, with their Hyuga-class Helicopter Carrier and the F-35.

Hope to see these in PA and may be more in future as well:
30 Z-10P Block-I
40 Z-10P Block-II
40 Z-10P Block-III

Perfect. Secure PLA intrest in the SCS and African allies from Advasries.

Awesome.

We need 6 LHD 48,000 ton (type 081) and 9 LPD 28,000 ton (type 071).

We need 8 aircraft carriers too.
I heard we are building 2 conventional 65,000 ton catapult aircraft carriers.
The next phase will be to build 6 nuclear 100,000+ ton EMALS super carriers.

they are rumors, all rumors```do you know how much they are gonna cost just to run them?

when Chinese society develops more and more money will be devoted into social welfare systems and less for infrastructures and others`````a reasonable sized efficient elite army is what we are going for

 

[qwerrty]

that's a lot of tonnage for a first lhd. i called it bs..

 

[emotionless_teenage]

depends.if fully laden,it may reach 40k tonnes. if it's empty displacement,than it should be in the range of 15k to 25k tonne.

 

[April.lyrics]

do we need heli-carrier even if we are working on ACs?

 

[navtrek]

True u are Chinese lol and ur above statement is in simple called trolling. Why drag India in the middle.
