SHANGHAI, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) — The People's Liberation Army Navy's first Type 076 amphibious assault ship (UDC) Sichuan set out from Shanghai, east China, on Friday morning for its maiden sea trial.
During sea trials, the main focus will be on checking the reliability and stability of the vessel's power, electrical and other systems.
This domestically developed ship was launched in December 2024 and assigned the hull number 51.
Since then, construction work on the ship has progressed according to schedule. Mooring trials have been successfully completed, along with equipment installation and system debugging, ensuring the technical conditions for sea trials are met.
The maximum displacement of the Sichuan UDC exceeds 40,000 tons; it has two island superstructures and a full-length flight deck.
As a new-generation amphibious assault ship of the PLA Navy, the Sichuan LCS is equipped with innovative electromagnetic catapult and arresting gear technologies, allowing it to carry fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and amphibious vehicles.
