Development and design

The Type 901 integrated supply ships are the latest generation of super large ocean-going integrated supply ship (fast combat support ship) of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy. Compared with the earlier Type 903 integrated supply ship, its replenishment equipment has been greatly improved and improved in performance, which can provide the future Chinese aircraft carrier fleet with replenishment tasks under more complex conditions. Since the top speed of this class of supply ship reaches 25 knots, it will be able to flexibly deploy with the aircraft carrier fleet. [4]

The Type 901 is estimated to have a 45,000 ton displacement [3] and a beam of 31.5 metres. [5] The ship is powered by four QC280 gas turbines, each delivering 28 MW, for maximum speed of about 25 kt; the speed is necessary to keep up with carriers. [3] The Type 901 is more than twice the size of the preceding Type 903A and significantly faster. [3] [6]

The Type 901 appears to be designed with similar missions to the Supply-class fast combat support ship [7] which is to keep large surface action groups supplied.

Construction and career

She was launched in June 2017 at Huangpu Shipyard in Guangzhou and commissioned on 12 February 2019 into the South Sea Fleet. [8]

The Zubr class, Soviet designation Project 1232.2, is a class of Soviet-designed air-cushioned landing craft (LCAC). The name "Zubr" is Russian for the European bison. This class of military hovercraft is, as of 2023 the world's largest hovercraft, with a standard full load displacement of 555 tons. The hovercraft was designed to sealift amphibious assault units from equipped/non-equipped vessels to non-equipped shores, as well as to transport and plant naval mines.

Type 054A frigate Class of Chinese guided-missile frigates

The Type 054A is a class of guided-missile frigate from the People's Republic of China. It is a development of the Type 054 frigate; compared to its predecessor, the Type 054A has medium-range air defense capability in the form of Type 382 radar and vertically launched (VLS) HHQ-16 surface-to-air missiles.

Type 056 corvette Class of guided missile light frigates fielded by the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army Navy

The Type 056 corvette is a class of warship deployed by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). They replace older patrol craft and some of the Type 053H frigates. The first Type 056 entered service in February 2013. An anti-submarine warfare (ASW) variant, commonly known as Type 056A, has also entered service. Following construction of Aba in December 2019, China ceased building Type 056 corvettes to focus on procuring bigger warships for high sea missions. In 2021, the PLAN transferred all 22 Type 056 to the China Coast Guard while retaining the Type 056A.

The Type 052D destroyer is a class of guided-missile destroyers in the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy. The Type 052D is a larger variant of the Type 052C; the Type 052D uses a canister-type, instead of revolver-type, vertical launching system (VLS) and has flat-paneled active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar. The new VLS is not limited to surface-to-air missiles, making the Type 052D China's first dedicated multi-role destroyer.

The Type 055 destroyer is a class of stealth guided-missile destroyers being constructed for the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). It has a multi-mission design; the combination of sensors and weapons suggests a main role of area air defence, with anti-submarine warfare capabilities surpassing previous Chinese surface combatants.
