Design

The original plan was to convert Shichang from the civilian roll-on/roll-off ship Huayuankou; a new ship was built instead.[3]

Shichang has a bridge structure forward with the flight deck occupying most of the remaining area behind it; the funnel is toward the stern on the starboard side. The flight deck has two landing spots and may be reconfigured;[1] options include a modular hangar and control space behind the forward structure, or 300 standard 20-foot containers.[3]
