The Chinese Navy (PLAN) Type 076 amphibious assault ship Sichuan (51) has commenced her first sea trial earlier today in Shanghai. The large new amphibious carrier of a globally unique design features an electromagnetic catapult for launching fixed wing drones. [...]

The new amphibious assault carrier measures in at an overall length of 252 metres and a beam across the flight deck of 45 metres. With these dimensions Type 076-carrier Sichuan is among the largest amphibious assault vessel-designs in the world. The ship features a welldock with the typical stern access for LCU- or LCAC-type transports, or amphibious vehicles. The flightdeck uses two side-mounted elevators for moving aircraft to the hangar below, a first for a Chinese amphibious design.

With an estimated displacement around 45,000 tons the vessel roughly matches the America-class LHD in service with the US Navy and surpasses the French nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. Official Chinese media reported her displacement at “over 40,000 tons” back in December 2024, when Hudong launched the ship from the builders drydock.

Aus dem gleichen Grund war das Schiff zuvor bereits in Zhanjiang. PLAN gibt high profile-Indienststellungen mittlerweile schnell bekannt, und ich gehe davon aus, dass das hier auch so laufen wird.
