CHINA’S NEW AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT SHIP

In December 2024, China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy unveiled its newest warship, the Type 076, with little public information about its design or capabilities. The Type 076 is a new class of amphibious assault ship, which isn’t the same thing as an aircraft carrier despite its similar appearance. Some of the mystery surrounding the vessel was partially lifted on November 14, 2025, when the Sichuan (51) left Shanghai on its first sea trial. They launch aircraft that don’t require a runway, and while they have long flight decks, launching F/A-18s isn’t what they’re designed for. The Sichuan, on the other hand, can seemingly launch a wider variety of aircraft, showing how China is continuing to step up its naval game in terms of implementing added capabilities to its warships. Is China catching up with the united states of America ?
