Type O75 is a project for Hudong shipyard located at different side of Shanghai where type 071 LPD were built. No photo of Type 075 has surfaced yet.

Commander Wei Huixiao to be Chinese Navy's first female warship captain (2019-03-08)

Commander Wei Huixiao 韦慧晓, intern captain of the guided-missile destroyer Zhengzhou (Hull 151) of the Chinese Navy

BEIJING, Mar. 8 (ChinaMil) -- In a recent combat drill on the East China Sea, a female officer with military rank of commander adeptly gave battle orders at the operations commanding room aboard the guided-missile destroyer Changchun (Hull 150) of the Chinese Navy.

Who is the female officer? She is Dr. Wei Huixiao 韦慧晓〔韋慧曉〕, the first female intern captain of the guided-missile destroyer Zhengzhou (Hull 151, Type 052C) of the Chinese Navy.

The story of Wei’s military career is full of legends: From a well-paid white-collar worker to a naval officer, from an outstanding doctoral student to a commanding officer of a new-type destroyer…

After graduating with a doctoral degree, Wei aspired to join the military and she sent a cover letter to the Chinese Navy, in which she expressed her longing for serving in the military and elaborated her conditions and advantages that would enable her to become a qualified soldier. She also attached awards and certificates she had won and papers she had published, which added up to more than 200 pages in total.

In January 2012, her dream came true as she was enlisted in the Chinese Navy. In the following seven years, she evolved from a new recruit to a deputy department head of China’s first aircraft carrier and then to executive officer and intern captain of destroyers. In the process she achieved an unprecedented growth, faster than standard routines.

In April 2015, Wei was appointed intern executive officer of the guided-missile destroyer Changchun (Hull 150). The first year at the position was full of challenges for her. To learn more about equipment data, she carried a notebook in her pocket so that she could take notes anytime. She took notes on almost everything, ranging from every simple countersign to her own understanding of every operational maneuver, from the name of every piece of equipment to its specific usage methods.

Thanks to her tireless efforts, Wei passed the strict examination and officially became the Chinese Navy’s first female executive officer in March 2016. Then she was appointed the intern captain of the guided-missile destroyer Zhengzhou (Hull 151) in September 2017.

Today, the legendary female officer is just a heartbeat away from the first female warship captain of the Chinese Navy.

I remember this female officer for I'd posted about her TWICE in PDF!

Funny, how above article could put her name wrongly, made me confused for some time, until I got it right.

Wei Huixiao 韦慧晓〔韋慧曉〕, of Zhuang nationality 壮族, a PhD in Earth Sciences— was previously a distinguished employee at Huawei (Shenzhen), she was once awarded the “Golden Individual” award by the company, an employee with annual salary of one million yuan.

More info about her from the Baidu Online Encyclopedia page:

As posted EARLIER; following the post by @JSCh

Wei is still relatively young (41-yo iirc) she can still advance her career much higher, and I would like to witness a lady of such quality, dedication and smartness to climb to much higher tops. I hope the PLAN can make her services at best. But first thing first I wanna see her being confirmed/promoted into the firm captain of DDG, the very first Female Captain in Chinese Naval history! Congratulations to Dr. Wei

well, I am not a troll...
As long as i am not offending the forum rules, there is no reason to stop questioning certain pics.
I even provide some information from time to time so it is not fair to treat me that negatively...
I understand your point though. However, it will be nice if pics won't just be uploaded without, at least, a minimum description. You can't just expect anyone to understand what's going on.

“The Chinese space laboratory has observed four different types of ship wake in the Yellow Sea using its imaging radar. This made it possible to check the validity of the theoretical simulation models, in particular on the closed angle V-wave and the internal waves.”

Above is the tweet of Henri Kenhmann (East Pendulum):

Question: What's the significance of this observation?

What's the possible practical application of this?
