China is rapidly constructing a massive new amphibious assault ship, the Type 076, capable of launching fixed-wing aircraft.
To rapidly enhance its naval capabilities and counter the US, China has commenced the rapid development of its enormous next-generation amphibious assault ship.
Satellite imagery from the Center for Strategic and International Studies indicates that the flight deck measures around 260 meters by 52 meters and covers an area of over 13,500 square meters—nearly the size of three U.S. football fields. It will notably feature a catapult for launching fixed-wing aircraft, setting it apart from all other amphibious assault ships.
China has equipped its third aircraft carrier, the Type 003 Fujian, with three EMALS-style catapults. The anticipated installation of a similar catapult on the Type 076 suggests that China has confidence in the design.
