The Type 072A landing ship (NATO/OSD Yuting II-class landing ship tank) is a class of amphibious warfare ship in the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.[4]

The Type 072A is a development of the Type 072II or Type 072III landing ships. A tunnel through the superstructure connects the forward and rear decks.[3] The vehicle deck runs the full length of the ship with bow doors and stern ramp.[1]

The first nine ships entered service from 2003 to 2005. They were completed with a twin 37mm turret.[1]

A second batch - reportedly of four ships from Wuchang shipyard and two from Fujian shipyard - began entering service in 2015. The 37mm guns were replaced by a H/PJ-17 30 mm gun on the second batch.[1][5]
