Type 067 utility landing craft

The Type 067 landing craft, utility (NATO codename: Yunnan class), also known as Yunnan class, entered the People's Liberation Army Navy service from 1968–1972. This class is the enlarged version of Yuch'in class landing craft mechanized,[1] developed into a landing craft tank (LCT) capable of carrying either a medium tank, or two armored fighting vehicles, or a company of infantry.[2] Some Type 067 have been converted to buoy tender/cable layers, designated as Type 911, which includes two sub types, Type 911I and Type 911II, one for buoy tender, the other for cable layer.[3]

Operators
gollark: Even if we completely solve all material goods there will be demand for services, intellectual works, experiences, sort of thing.
gollark: "How come you get *two* planets to live on? I need three!"
gollark: Post-scarcity probably never since people will always want *some* other thing.
gollark: Since healthcare does require resources, it's more "paid for by someone else" than "actually free". But the US's system is so bad that that could probably work better and more cheaply *anyway*.
gollark: You can split it into threes by drawing lines from the points to the centre.
