How strong is China's first Type 075 amphibious assault ship? Follow the captain to visit Hainan for landing operations | Forces | China
In recent years, the People's Navy has continued to promote the construction of main combat equipment, building a maritime steel wall to defend national sovereignty, safeguard China's maritime rights and interests, respond to various security threats, and complete diversified military tasks.
On April 23, 2021, this "Great Wall of Steel on the Sea" once again injected new strength. China's first Type 075 amphibious assault ship, Hainan Ship, was handed over and put into service at a military port in Sanya. The 075 amphibious assault ship is the latest generation of amphibious combat vessels independently developed by China. Its maximum displacement exceeds 40000 tons, and it is referred to as a "small aircraft carrier" by netizens.
Hainan Ship Captain Zhang Meiyu: As a giant ship weighing tens of thousands of tons, the entire ship is very large, equivalent to a height of 20 floors and a length of over 200 meters. There are nearly a thousand compartments on top of the entire space. Many people can easily get lost during their first visit or the first month of recruitment. An important training content for new recruits after boarding the ship is to familiarize themselves with the building structure.
Hainan Ship Captain Zhang Meiyu: This is our "Two Attacks" poem, written by one of our senior squad leaders. Like the first sentence, the majestic east wind, the bustling world of spring, the wealth of the country and the people, all the more important is to strengthen the Great Wall with elite troops.
There is a large through deck on the Hainan ship, with an area equivalent to 20 standard basketball courts. This greatly increases the operational area of the deck, where multiple carrier based helicopters can take off and land simultaneously, and can be quickly deployed in multiple waves, greatly enhancing combat capabilities.
In the belly of the Hainan ship, there is more hidden universe. It has a large hangar that can accommodate multiple models of carrier based aircraft. There are two elevators in front and behind the hangar, and the transport personnel can remotely control multiple helicopters at once through the control lever.
Hainan ships are not only airports at sea, but also shipyards and bases at sea. In addition to the hangar, the Hainan ship also has loading compartments such as docks, mainly carrying hovercraft, tanks, armored vehicles, etc. Air cushion boats can be used to transport heavy equipment and deliver it to the shore at high speed.
Hainan ships have strong three-dimensional landing combat capabilities, as well as excellent air and sea control capabilities, and can form special operations fleets with aircraft carriers. Since joining the fleet, the Hainan ship has completed collaborative training with multiple types of carrier based helicopters, tanks, and hovercraft multiple times.
Hainan Ship Captain Zhang Meiyu: Amphibious assault ship, as a large amphibious combat platform, is responsible for the main delivery force in joint landing operations. For example, it can transport land forces to the landing battlefield through aircraft, hovercraft, and other loading equipment, and participate in joint landing operations. Secondly, as the "two attacks", it not only has joint combat capabilities, but also strong ocean going capabilities. For example, it can be deployed overseas to serve as a warning and deterrent, while also undertaking diverse military tasks.
Captain Zhang Meiyu of the Hainan ship: We must be serving as a command ship, with the most traditional guard ships next to us. Like some destroyers, frigates, and when necessary, some combat resources, such as supply ships, etc. Prepare differently based on different tasks.
