 After a year of training, the Hainan will have full operating capability in the not-too-distant future, Captain Lü Yongjun, the captain of the ship, revealed in a program broadcast by China Central Television (CCTV) on Saturday. The Hainan entered service with the PLA Navy on April 23, 2021 as China's first amphibious assault ship. Often dubbed a helicopter carrier, the vessel can carry a large number of helicopters in addition to amphibious armored vehicles and tanks, and launch both horizontal and vertical landing missions on islands and reefs, and even land from the sea, analysts said. By reaching initial operating capability, a warship is ready for deployment for basic missions, and can start to participate in more complicated, realistic combat-oriented exercises to enhance its combat readiness, so the vessel can become fully operational, a Chinese military expert told the Global Times on Wednesday, requesting anonymity. To the Hainan, it means that not only have the sailors familiarized themselves with the ship, its systems and its weapons, but also that the ship has integrated with the helicopters, the landing craft and the amphibious vehicles that it carries, the expert said. |

Is it just me, or does it look woefully under equipped? No defensive CWIS or RAM at the bow, or apparently anywhere?
Good

Quote HistoryQuoted: Hmm Good. That is kind of a big deal, especially that they are truck moble and not fixed. We're finally starting to do that ourselves. Taiwan has some decent home made ASCMs too. |

Just wait OP, plenty of posters will come along to joke that China cant build ships or ships that work yet they are unaware China's shipyards build the majority of ships for the global maritime community. And they are nice and meet all stringent international codes and regulations.
Chinese shipyards can spit out a ship before our shipyards can agree what kind of coffee to supply the union slugs. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is it just me, or does it look woefully under equipped? No defensive CWIS or RAM at the bow, or apparently anywhere? Good Not great resolution on that pic, but looks to me like something very similar to RAM forward of the island, and several sponson mounted items farther aft that could be weapons. ETA Wiki claims 2 x 30mm CIWS and 2 x HQ10 SAM, which is their equivalent of RAM with a similar appearance. |

Taiwan should be investing in anti ship missiles.
No way for China to take it, if they can't get close enough to land troops and equipment. |

How’s Taiwan’s sub fleet? I know they had a homegrown project but not sure where they are at with it.
They’re going to need subs. Lot of subs. |

Too bad their dock workers don't have the same work ethic as the folks that worked on Bonhomme Richard.

Uneducated question - How effective is the low and slow Harpoon going to be against a fully modern ship with CIWS and similar missile defense like this one, presumably supported by other similarly modern ships? Large volley strictly required to get any through to target?
I know the USN is working a number of newer and better anti-ship missiles with stealth, higher speed, and or avoidance technologies, but obviously the Harpoon is still going to be a workhorse for a number of years. |
