China launched its first Type 076 amphibious assault ship, Sichuan, on December 27 at the Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard in Shanghai.
The Sichuan has a full-load displacement of over 40,000 tons, making it one of the largest amphibious assault ships in the world. It measures approximately 260 meters long with a 50-meter-wide flight deck. Equipped with an electromagnetic catapult system, the ship can launch fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and drones, allowing it to provide air support for ground troops during amphibious operations. It can also deploy over 1,000 marines via landing craft.
Meanwhile the US Navy seems incapable of building anything.
