The Type 076 landing helicopter dock (NATO reporting name: Yulan-class landing helicopter assault[5]) is a planned class of amphibious assault ship for the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).[6] Compared to the similarly sized Type 075, the Type 076 is expected to have a CATOBAR system of electromagnetic catapult and arresting gears for operating light fixed-wing aircraft, likely unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV).[3]
