China’s People’s Liberation Army-Navy (PLA-N) is building the Type 076 amphibious assault ship. The vessel could play a pivotal role in any conflict with the United States over Taiwan. The ship’s construction began around October 2023 at the Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard in Shanghai. The Type 076 ship will bridge the gap between PLA-N’s largest amphibious warship, the Type 075 and its most advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian. According to a The War Zone report, the warship may be capable of supporting UCAVs and other fixed-wing drones, along with aircraft and assault forces. Watch the video to find out more.
