    Solution

    In December 2024, China launched the Sichuan, the world's largest amphibious assault ship, at a shipyard in Shanghai. This vessel represents the first Type 076 Yulan-class landing helicopter assault ship in China's naval fleet. The Sichuan incorporates advanced Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) technology, significantly enhancing its combat capabilities by enabling efficient fighter jet launches from its deck. This technological advancement is particularly notable as previously only the USS Gerald R. Ford of the United States Navy had operational EMALS capability. The launch of this sophisticated vessel demonstrates China's continued naval modernization and expanding maritime power projection capabilities.
