The Type 074 landing ship (NATO reporting name: Yuhai-class) is a class of landing ship medium (LSM) of the People's Liberation Army Navy.

The preceding Type 079 landing ship suffers from inherit design flaws so that in order to achieve ease of production, it could be mass-produced, the hull shape was a very simply flat bottom design, and this is not good for sailing in poor weathers.

However, as study progressed, it was discovered that in order to reach the requirement, major redesign is needed, and the cost would be prohibitive.

This class of landing ship is capable of making oceanic voyages in moderate sea states.

The ships of this class are fitted with three Type 61 25mm AAA guns|Type 61 dual-25mm antiaircraft artillery guns.
