The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy commissioned three new tank landing ships at a naval port of a landing ship flotilla on Monday.
The Wuyishan warship (hull number 914), Culaishan warship (hull number 915) and Wutaishan warship (hull number 917), independently developed and produced by China itself, are the same type of tank landing ship, China Military Online reported.
They have a maximum displacement of more than 5000 tons and are mainly used to deliver soldiers in support of the sea-crossing and island-landing operations. They can also take on diversified military missions at peace times, such as transportation for war preparedness, maritime rescue and national defense education.
