If you turn that particular module 90 degree, it might look different.

At Twitter I got two other replies:

1. they should be just the next level decks with the overhanging flight deck

"1 is the fore elevator segment, 2 the munition elevator segment, 3 the bow segment. It shouldn't be too surprising to have the flight deck wider that the bottom bits."

2. they are in fact not wider ...

Well what you said about typical LPD is correct, but also right above report. 071 LPD is more specify design LDP design for Taiwan Strait and south china sea island war scenario. it design more short range large Army/Marine cops transport capability, it design with 4 LCAC compare to San Antonio LPD or other even LHD only with 2 LCAC. it means 071 can transport much large number of marine cops/Army or MBT/AAV/infantry vehicle to breach landing specially time is critical for Taiwan Strait scenario. as results 4 LCAC, space in 071 so much space taken, lesser for accommodation, facility, store for long range endurance, smaller helicopter hanger. so re-supply more frequently. as patrol mission Africa, 071 carry much much lesser special force/Marine cop personal.

How many LCAC have u seen ferry onboard 071 LDP?

It can carry 4 LCAC , does not mean it lacks flexibility. Most of the time, you can see deck load with most 2 LCAC and rest with large number of amphibious armour vehicle lining up there. PLAN Marine has a unique feature which USN marine lacking. That is a complete set of amphibious armour vehicle. USN marine IFV cannot swim, no light tanks amphibious too. 071 LPD can simply flood the loading bay and those vehicle can swim by themselves. LCAC is usually reserve for very heavy item like MBT or when super rapid assualt reaction time is needed. The configuration of LPD is highly flexible due to the asset PLAN Marine has. To claim 071 LPD is specifically designed for Taiwan strait scenario just show the lack of knowledge of PLAN Marine asset.

Deino，you forgot the perspective factor. the upper part of the photo is farther.

The island has been installed.

source?
any pix? or was it already posted here?
I didnt find a thing on sdf.

 

[obj 705A]

my guess is if there are no pix then may be the leak originated from a worker at the shipyard and the information got circulated around till we had it.

in any case we dont want any one to get fired just because of our selfishness & impatience to see some pix, let us wait few weeks or even few months and we will see it.

Yup. Especially after what happened to one of the workers who posted a selfie with the 075 under construction. Best of luck to him.

Hmmm ??? Either this is an older image or this report about the island being installed was wrong!

 

[lcloo]

Can't find the mast?

I am sure there are better photos from other angle, but as usual the teaser comes first to increase your appetite.

[obj 705A]

so now that the island has been installed, should we expect the 075 to be launched in the coming days once it's painted?

 

[JSCh]

 

[aziqbal]

Launch soon no doubt

So 2019 1st one

2020 we could see two launches

Or maybe 2021 for the 3rd

8 x LPD and 3 x LHD is a good amphibious fleet

Colour restored.

beautifull ship even without the paint.
there were reports that South Korea wants to build an aircraft carrier for the F-35, it won't have any catapults and it would be 30k tons, in other words in a record time China built what most other countries would consider to be an aircraft carrier.
