<ul>
<li>It is thought that the Type 075 development project was officially launched in 2012</li>
<li>The published R & D documents show that the pre-studies have 
been carried out at least since 2008 by several research offices and 
research institutes, including the CSSC 708 Institute and the Chinese 
Naval Equipment Department</li>
<li>In July 2016, the technical proposal was submitted to the reviews of
 a committee comprised of industry, academic and naval experts</li>
<li>The first sheet cutting would have taken place at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai at the end of 2016</li>
<li>In its original configuration, the Chinese helicopter carrier had 
displacement of 48,000 tonnes and was capable of transporting up to 38 
helicopters, that's close to the US Navy's Wasp class</li>
<li>But for unknown reasons - probably because of budget, propulsion, or
 changing operational requirements - the solution chosen is a 
36,000-tonne vessel with a capacity of 28 helicopters</li>
<li>Note that the diesel engine 16PC2-6B of 9,000 kW will be part of the
 propulsion of the Type 075, according to an article published in June 
2015, quoting the statement of the CEO of Hudong Heavy Machinery Co., 
Ltd, a CSSC subsidiary specializing in marine diesel engines. The same 
family of diesel engines is also used by the 40,000 tonne Type 901 
tanker and the amphibious assault ship Type 071 of 20,000 tonnes</li>
<li>Details of the on-board equipment are missing at the moment, but the
 ship will be a priori equipped with two CIWS H / PJ-11 guns and two 
CIWS HQ-10 missiles for its self-protection</li>
<li>We should hopefully see the first modules of this Type 075 before 
the end of the year. Our sources told the first order consisted of three
 units, but the final number could vary depending on the geopolitical 
situation. </li>

An apparent company-produced model of a landing helicopter dock (LHD) 
amphibious assault ship may offer an indication of the configuration and
 capabilities of such a ship that is expected to be produced for the 
People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). 
 
An image of the model appeared on Chinese military web pages on 22 
April. A subsequent online search found the same image on a model 
manufacturer's website with the designation Type 081. 
 
Chinese defence manufacturers have long used models to preview their 
platforms, although the models' veracity is often complicated by a lack 
of supporting information. In addition, Chinese model companies seeking 
sales often put speculative designs on the market and this model does 
seem to mirror some recent Chinese "fan art". 
 
However, for nearly a decade Chinese and other sources have projected 
that the PLAN would acquire an LHD, with up to six platforms in the 
class. These would complement an expected force of six Type 071 landing 
platform dock (LPD) amphibious assault ships, four of which have been 
launched. 
 
 
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://www.janes.com/images/assets/920/50920/p1634441.jpg" height="246" src="http://www.janes.com/images/assets/920/50920/p1634441.jpg" width="640" />The LHS has three sponsons featuring vertical launchers, possibly for SAM systems. (Via CJDBY website) 
 
 
 
The model pictured fits the description of a future LHD by Admiral Yin 
Zhou during a November 2012 Chinese television interview, in which he 
stated that it would approach 40,000 tons displacement. 
 
The model is shown with 14 helicopters embarked, including Change Z-18 
and Kamov co-axial helicopters. While it is not possible from the model 
to determine the type of Kamov, reports from 2006 noted China's interest
 in "several dozen" of the Ka-29 armed assault version. 
 
The LHD apparently employs a stern-mounted main aircraft elevator, 
similar to that employed by the French Mistral-class LHD, but positioned
 to the starboard to retain a longer "runway". 
 
Below the elevator is a well-deck for disembarking and receiving 
amphibious assault forces. It is likely this size LHD could carry a mix 
of amphibious armoured assault vehicles or hovercraft for transporting 
wheeled or tracked vehicles. 
 
China's LHD may also employ heavier integral missile armament than 
Western LHDs. In addition to two HHJ-10 point defence missile launchers,
 the model shows vertical launchers in three sponsons, two on the port 
and one on the starboard: a configuration similar to that used by the 
French Navy's carrier Charles de Gaulle for its Aster 15 SAMs.
