Preface
The 075 ship is no stranger to everyone, after all, the mainland already has three Type 075 amphibious ships.
However, everyone is still in a hazy perception of the "future battleship" of 076.
It's not clear how big it is or what unique features it has.
However, on a photo recently circulated on the Internet, the hazy veil of this "behemoth" was gradually lifted.
When someone put it together with the 075 ship, netizens understood why it would be equipped with a catapult!
Type 075 amphibious assault ship
Recently, the mainland's navy ships have attracted the most attention to our third aircraft carrier, the Fujian.
However, not long ago, when the Fujian ship successfully returned to the port for the first sea trial, a big secret was exposed under the high-definition lens of CCTV.
Under the lens of CCTV, we found two "future" ships in the dock next to it, many people speculated that one was the Type 075 No. 4 ship and the other was the new Type 076 amphibious assault ship.
There is a reason for this speculation, as early as November 10, 2022, China's third Type 075 attack ship was officially unveiled, which we affectionately call "33".
The name "33" may be taken from its port number, because on April 23, 2021, the mainland officially handed over the first Type 075 amphibious assault ship "Hainan Ship" to a military port in Sanya, with the port number 31.
On April 21, 2022, the first type amphibious assault ship independently developed by the mainland, the Guangxi, is the second Type 075 amphibious assault ship with a board number of 32.
In the past year and a half, the successive entry of three amphibious assault ships has gradually strengthened the mainland's naval strength, which has demonstrated the strength of the mainland's military personnel and proved to the people the determination and urgency of the mainland to develop advanced weapons and equipment.
On November 10, 2022, "Official Announcement! The third Type 075 amphibious assault ship of the People's Navy was unveiled》
And these Type 075 amphibious assault ships have obvious appearance characteristics, they are like a small aircraft carrier, with a direct deck, and the ship island, which is affectionately called "small flat top" by many people.
Among the three amphibious assault ships, the largest is the first amphibious assault ship Hainan, and the two amphibious assault ships after this are much smaller.

According to the data, the full load displacement of the Type 075 amphibious assault ship is about 40,000 tons, and its speed can reach 23 knots, with excellent performance.
It can carry 30 helicopters of various types at the same time, and its large cabin can carry two Type 726 amphibious air-cushion landing craft.
With a length of 232 meters and a width of more than 32 meters, this attack ship is like a child in front of the 320-meter-long and 78-meter-wide Fujian.

In the CCTV footage, it can be found that the two ships that did not reveal their true faces, and the size of one of them is like a Type 075 in front of the Fujian ship.
The other one is much larger, in addition to the fact that it can also be seen on that ship with a kind of "catapult", which is not possessed by Type 075 attack ships, which has caused everyone to speculate that it is a Type 076 amphibious assault ship.
Some people have drawn out their own speculations, and foreign media have also speculated that China's Type 076 amphibious assault ship may be 20 meters longer than the Type 075 attack ship, with a significant increase in width, and surpass the American "American" class amphibious assault ship.
For such an attack ship, the size determines its strength to a certain extent, and the wider space is the main feature of its ability to accommodate more weapons.
But until it is unveiled, we can only speculate about it.
Three ships of the "future".
In view of China's current strength, some people had a certain understanding when the Fujian returned to port.
First of all, the Fujian ship has a large flat and long flight deck, which is convenient for the take-off and landing of carrier-based fighters.
In addition, the Fujian ship also has the most eye-catching electromagnetic catapult technology, which is very difficult, and it needs to master energy storage technology, linear motor technology and ejection control technology.
At present, only three countries are equipped with catapult aircraft carriers: China, the United States, and France, while only the Ford-class aircraft carriers of the US Navy and the Fujian ship of the Chinese Navy have applied electromagnetic catapult technology.
Electromagnetic catapult is the take-off device of carrier-based fighters on aircraft carriers, which has many advantages compared with traditional steam catapults, not only its small volume, low requirements for shipboard auxiliary systems, high efficiency, light weight, and low operation and maintenance costs.

It can be said that it will be one of the core technologies of the future aircraft carrier.
The work of the catapult is mainly done through the coordination of the four systems, first of all, it can store the energy of the power supply, and turn the stored energy into high-frequency pulses through the energy conversion system, so as to drive the linear induction motor.
Since the linear willing motor is a catapult motor, the preparation device is completed, and finally under the supervision of the operator after setting the parameters, the work is completed.
It also has the advantage of being more accurate, it allows the Navy to expand the ability to catapult light to heavy aircraft on aircraft carriers, with this better ejection and recovery capability, and he can also build aircraft interdiction systems!
And these functions used to be just theories that we could do, and even unimaginable.
But now it seems that this once "unattainable" dream has become a reality, and in the near future, it is likely to be equipped with all new ships and become a powerful force of the mainland.

According to the mainland's academicians, in terms of electromagnetic catapult, China's technology is no longer inferior to that of the United States, and it even has more advanced technology in some fields.
In addition, electromagnetic catapult technology has changed the perception that it was previously thought to only work on nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and can be equipped with this function even on ordinary aircraft carriers.
As a result, it can provide more powerful strength resources, therefore, the Type 076 attack ship is the expectation of many Chinese people, looking forward to its real appearance.
On the occasion of the 75 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Navy, the mainland's naval strength has gradually become stronger, and the mainland's warships have not stopped the pace of advancement, and they are making lasting progress every day.
Judging from the unveiled Fujian warship and the two "giant ships" that have not fully revealed their true colors, the mainland's naval strength is growing day by day, and the mainland's "shipbuilding pace," which is the envy of the United States, is still developing at a rapid pace.
brief summary
In the "collective appearance" of the mainland's three "future warships," it is not difficult to see the mainland's tough power, and even to show the world the mainland's strong strength.
What kind of functions will warships have in the future, look forward to it, our country will not let us down, and will definitely give us, the whole world, a shocking answer!
