8. Type 075 (China)
Representing a significant advance in the capabilities of the People's Liberation Army Navy, China's Type 075 amphibious assault ship also shows the country's developing marine technological competence. These boats have a hangar deck that can hold up to 28 aircraft and a full-length flight deck able of running several helicopters concurrently. While its vehicle storage compartments provide notable capacity for military equipment and humanitarian supplies, the ship's well deck can deploy and recover several amphibious vehicles and landing craft. Multiple operating rooms, intensive care units, and specialised treatment areas—advanced medical facilities—allow thorough medical support for both military and humanitarian operations. The complex combat management system of the ship combines several sensors and defensive weaponry to guarantee survivability in contested areas. While large fuel and supply storage facilitates extended deployments, modern communication technologies help coordination with other navy units and ground forces. While advanced environmental control systems allow operations in many climatic situations, the electrical generating capacity of the ship maintains all onboard systems and provide power for humanitarian assistance operations.
