Multi-role Support Ship (Malaysia)
Multi-Role Support Ship (MRSS) is a class of amphibious ship planned for the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN). Development Since the loss of KD Sri Inderapura after catching fire in 2009, RMN has an outstanding need for her replacement. In addition, the lack of the RMN's amphibious assets such as Landing Platform Dock and Landing Ship Tank makes this procurement programme very important to be fulfilled. Due to this matter, RMN has launched their Multi-Role Support Ship (MRSS) programme to procure this type of amphibious ship. This MRSS programme seen in line with RMN's fleet modernisation programme called ''15 to 5'' where RMN planned to reduce the class of their ship in order to reduce the maintenance cost and easier the logistic support of the fleet. This class of ships includes Scorpène-class submarine, Maharaja Lela-class frigate, Kedah-class offshore patrol vessel, Littoral Mission Ship (Keris-class littoral mission ship and Ada-class corvette) and Multi Role Support Ship (MRSS ...

Type 075 Landing Helicopter Dock
The Type 075 landing helicopter dock (NATO reporting name: Yushen-class landing helicopter assault) is a class of Chinese amphibious assault ships built by Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).

History The Marine Design and Research Institute of China (708 Institute) of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation began design work in 2011. Debate over the desired result may have continued into 2016. Reportedly, the Central Military Commission Equipment Development Department favored a smaller design than the final Type 075, effectively an enlarged Type 071 amphibious transport dock, possibly due to concerns that the existing propulsion plant was insufficient for a larger ship. Ultimately, the PLAN's desire for an LHA prevailed. Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding received the contra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
