Type 072 class landing ship
- Type 072 class landing ship
The Type 072 (NATO codename: Yukan class) large landing ships were built by Shanghai-based Zhonghua Shipyard (now Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard) in the 1980s to replace the ageing WWII-era ex-US Navy L-1511 tank landing ships in service with the PLA Navy. The Type 072 is the PLA Navy’s first indigenous large landing ship. A total of seven hulls were constructed before the programme was terminated and replaced by the more capable Type 072-II (Yuting class) in the early 1990s.
