Images have recently emerged of China's fifth Yuzhao-class (Type 071) Landing Platform Dock (LPD) being built for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai.
最近在上海沪东中华造船厂出现为中国海军(PLAN)建造的中国第五艘玉昭级(071型)两栖船坞登陆舰(LPD)。 
 
Published in Chinese online forums, the photographs show that the vessel's hull appears to be largely complete and that substantial progress has been made on the forward superstructure, which reinforces forecasts that the ship is likely to be launched later this year.
在中国在线论坛上发布的照片​​显示,舰艇的船身看起来基本完整,前方上部结构取得了实质性进展,这加强了舰艇今年晚些时候下水的预测。
 
The Type 071 LPDs are 210 m long and displace around 20,000 tonnes. Equipped with a flight deck and hangar, they can embark four medium-lift helicopters such as the Changhe Aircraft Industries Group Z-8. The well deck is assessed to be capable of embarking up to four Yuyi-class (Type 726) Landing Craft Air Cushions (LCACs).
071型210米长,排水量20000吨左右。配备一个飞行甲板和机库,可搭载四架中型直升机如昌河飞机工业集团直-8型。船台甲板被评估可搭载多达四艘玉义级(726型)气垫登陆艇(LCACs)。 
 
The first Type 071 entered service in late 2007 followed by two more in 2011 and 2012, respectively. These ships were all assigned to the South Sea Fleet, which is primarily responsible for operations in the South China Sea.
第一艘071型在2007年底服役,其次两艘分别在2011年和2012年。这些舰艇都被分配到南海舰队,这是主要负责在南海的作战。 
 
After a four-year pause, a fourth ship of the class entered service with the East Sea Fleet in 2016, which is believed to have the lead role in amphibious operations relating to Taiwan and is likely to receive the ship currently under construction.
经过4年的暂停,在2016年第四艘舰艇进入东海舰队服役,这被认为是在台湾岛的两栖行动中起主导作用,并有可能收到目前在建的舰艇。
 
The Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard was visited by PLAN commander Vice Admiral Shen Jinlong on 28 March, leading to media speculation that the yard may have commenced work on the Type 075 Landing Helicopter Dock amphibious assault ship.
中国海军司令沈金龙上将28日访问沪东中华船厂,导致媒体猜测该造船厂里可能已经开始075型直升机登陆船坞两栖攻击舰工作。 
 
Satellite imagery from December 2016 of the Jiangnan Changxingdao Shipyard showed four Type 726 LCACs, believed to be newly constructed, and subsequent photographs of a PLAN amphibious landing exercise showed three of the craft not previously seen.
江南长兴岛船厂2016年12月的卫星图像显示了四艘726型LCAC,相信是新建造的,随后的PLAN两栖登陆演习的照片显示了以前没有看到的三艘。
