Description

The fourth Type 075 landing helicopter dock, Hubei (34), entered service with the People's Liberation Army Navy in a low-profile manner: the 35,000-tonne ship transferred from the Hudong shipyard to the Zhanjiang naval base in January 2025, still without a hull number, and received her name and pennant about four months later, with imagery circulating in May, Naval News reported in its review of the 2025 Chinese fleet. The ship was publicly presented in August 2025. She follows Hainan (31), Guangxi (32) and Anhui (33) and is assigned to the Southern Theater Command fleet at Zhanjiang. The Type 075 can carry up to 30 helicopters and has a well deck for landing craft, giving the PLAN four large amphibious assault ships.
