Now, satellite photos have revealed the construction of a new fleet of D-Day-style landing barges needed to surge troops and tanks over a beach.
Naval analyst H I Sutton has published a report in Naval News highlighting the appearance of between three and five new “special and unusual” barges at Guangzhou Shipyard in southern China.
Such barges should not be “special” or “unusual”.
In fact, they are a relatively ordinary sight at riverside and coastal construction projects.
But these particular barges at the Chinese dual-use civilian-military construction facility don’t fit that profile.
“The barges are reminiscent of the Mulberry Harbours built for the allied invasion of Normandy during World War II,” Sutton observes.
“Like those, these have been built extremely quickly and to novel designs.”
