Type 075 Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) News & Discussions

Accidents can happen during any weapon development program in the world so what so special about it

Given China's industrial capacity, this is not a serious matter. It takes about 1 month to repair the damage of type-075. This will be more difficult for other countries. Like the case of "Russia's Only Aircraft Carrier Is on Fire"

The fire was quickly put out but it should delay the schedule.

Shit happen everywhere
But how you handle it, that's the most important thing.

The fire successfully put off in half hour, and no fatalities
Big applause for their Emergency Management System


There is No explosion or something like that, the fire put off in only half hour.
The damage must be categorized as minor.

And with HDZH Shipyard Industrial capability, the delay will not long. Only 2 to 4 weeks delay at least, can be faster

He is correct

Such unfortunate. Read from youtube, the fire caused by short circuit in power supply to welding machine. Guess they'll need to rebuild the entire landing deck.

Very bad

a lot of damage is caused by smoke

should never happen again

new health and safety rules should be enforced

this is a capital Ship

I don't see a fire, I suspect the cables got burnt, they need to do recabling.

Good, repair should not take long then. They'll be commissioned on schedule

Judging from my experience with Shanghai yards, yes they will.

The ash on the outside has been wiped clean and is being renovated. The cause of the fire is the foamed plastic box burned. It looks like the smoke is big, no harm

Fire on China's first amphibious assault ship to have no major impact: sources

China's first Type 075 amphibious assault ship reportedly caught on fire on Saturday at the Hudong Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai. Although thick smoke was seen on the ship, sources in the know said the accident was not significant and will not wield any major impact on further construction.

Photos circulating on the internet showed that the stern of a Type 075 amphibious assault ship was blackened by a fire, and certain videos showed that there was fire at the stern, and columns of smoke were billowing with the wind, Singaporean news outlet Lianhe Zaobao reported on Saturday.

Sources said the ship that caught fire was the first Type 075 of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy, and the warship was still under construction.

The ship received a grand launch ceremony on September 25, 2019. As China's first ever domestically developed amphibious assault ship, the Type 075 has strong capabilities in amphibious warfare and could conduct multiple types of missions. According to plan, the ship would conduct equipment calibration, mooring and sea trials.

In line with general rules, related testing processes after the ship's launch are still under the management of the shipyard rather than the navy.

Beijing-based naval expert Li Jie told the Global Times on Saturday that smoke concentrated on the middle and rear areas of the ship, judging from the photos, and the cause for the fire is likely be problems with the power and mechanical systems, sparks caused by electric welding in maintenance, a fire in the kitchen or some flammable materials on deck or in the hanger that were left unsupervised for some time.

Judging from the thickness of the smoke, the fire was put under control quickly, and since no open flames were seen, the fire should have been extinguished very quickly, Li said.

Echoing Li, an expert in the shipbuilding industry who asked not to be named told the Global Times on Saturday that the thick smoke indicated the emergency response was fast.

Since the construction of the ship was still underway, there could be materials being placed on the ground, which could have been ignited by sparks caused by electric welding, the anonymous expert said.

Sources in the know said that although the smoke seemed to be thick, the fire was not even considered a small accident, and will have no major impact on further construction.

Any missed details could result in an accident in the construction of a large ship, and a small problem could potentially impact the overall construction, Li said, noting that despite this, no country could possibly avoid all accidents, so there is no need to groundlessly speculate on the origins of the Type 075's fire.

Accidents taking place in the process of construction can help find out any causes and solve hidden problems in advance, before a larger accident occurs, Li said, noting that, as the amphibious assault ship will be frequently used in the future, if any major technical issues were to be found later on when the ship was being used by the military, the result may potentially be worse.
