China's new Type 075 Amphibious Assault Ship, the Hainan (031) recently made History when it made its first ever Stop outside of China in the Port of Tanjung Priok in Indonesia. It was accompanied by two Type 054A Frigates as Escorts, the Liuzhou (573) and the Hengyang (568).
The Fleet will stay in Indonesia for four Days where its Crew will participate in various Cultural, Sports and Social Exchanges with the Indonesians. The Type 075 is probably one of the main Chinese Naval Vessels that the rabidly Pro-United States (US) and Anti-China Philippines will not allow to visit it because it is the Ship that will be at the forefront of any Naval Invasion of an Island in the South China Sea (SCS).
Its Mission is to transport Troops, Vehicles and Aircraft of an Invasion Force into a Target Location. It is a pretty large Ship, with a Displacement of at least 35,000 tons and a Length of 232 m. It can carry up to 800 Troops, 60 Vehicles and 28 Helicopters, and is armed with two H/PJ-14 30 mm caliber Close In Weapons System (CIWS) and two HQ-10 Surface to Air Missile (SAM) Launchers.
Remember that Indonesia also has Territorial Disputes with China in the SCS, but unlike the Philippines, Indonesia refuses to be goaded by the US into demonizing China and in fact Indonesia is now a very close Ally of China despite their Differences.
