Also participating in the drill were PLAN’s destroyers, frigates, military helicopters and possibly submarines.

The Yuzhao-class Type 071 amphibious transport dock ships are the PLAN’s largest vessels, except for its aircraft carrier, the Liaoning.

With 20,000-ton displacement, each measures 689 feet long and 92 feet wide.
