China Begins Sea Trials of EMALS-Equipped Type 076 Ship
China has commenced the maiden sea trials of Sichuan, its advanced Type 076 amphibious assault ship. The vessel is equipped with the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) — a technology previously used only by the U.S. Navy on the USS Gerald R. Ford.
Key features of the Sichuan include:
- Full-load displacement of over 40,000 tonnes
- A dual-island superstructure and full-length flight deck
- Electromagnetic catapult and arresting gear
- Capability to operate fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned systems
This trial comes shortly after the commissioning of China’s third aircraft carrier, Fujian, and highlights China’s rapidly growing naval shipbuilding pace. The country now operates three functioning aircraft carriers — Liaoning, Shandong, and Fujian — and is developing new carrier-based aircraft like the J-15T, J-35, and KJ-600.
