    Starting a new thread about the upcoming Type-076 LHD vessels.
    Based on the earlier Type-075 LHD but will come closer to a small aircraft carrier with a EMALS catapult added.

    Latest pictures clearly shows space for a catapult system.

    It will be a UAV carrier but like it's predecessor it's main role will still be in support of amphibious operations.
    Obviously it will be very useful in other roles as well.

    Here is a nice graphic comparison between the Type 076 and the Type 075
