News Story: PLA's Type 075-class amphibious landing helicopter assault ship revealed

Photos of a model of China's new Type 075-class amphibious landing helicopter assault ship have recently been revealed on a Chinese military website, reports Hong Kong-based Phoenix Television on July 12.

With a displacement of 40,000 tons, the Type 075-class amphibious landing helicopter assault ship has four take-off and landing spots dedicated to helicopters.
