What will the LCU look like? Not like the last one made for Bangladesh Army I hope!

I hope I will not bother others by talking like a Pundit. Bangladesh is bestowed with great rivers and water bodies. BD certainly needs metal roads, but it also should consider what its water system can contribute to transport container goods.

In order to make it happen, BD needs to build not only many more container ships but also many river ports with heavy cranes that can handle containers.This will cause people to build industries in places away from a congested Dhaka. The loaded containers with shipment for export will be brought to Chittagong/Mongla by the container ships.

This can take more payload than previous one. Last time built one is this:

This CGI looks nothing like the photo we see in the background at the steel cutting ceremony.

I doubt that this is even an LCU. They are not supposed to carry choppers. At 137 Ft and 415 tons max payload, it can't carry one chopper, let alone two. A small size chopper is atleast 50ft in length

This is what LCUs are supposed to look like.

Figment of imagination?

I can't tell based on the that CGI alone. You do realise that its a computer generated image right, not a real photo?

Need more details, besides the "nomenclature" varies from navy to navy.
