[8] Compared to the Type 075, the Type 076 is significantly larger in both displacement and flight deck dimensions; it also has a CATOBAR system of electromagnetic catapult and arresting gears for operating light fixed-wing aircraft, likely unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV).

Specifications from the RFPs were for a 21 MW gas turbine and diesel powerplants, a medium-voltage direct current integrated power system, and a well deck.

[6] The lead ship of this class was constructed at Shanghai-based Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard, with an estimated launch date of early 2025.

[13] A floodable well deck is located at its stern, capable of launching amphibious vehicles for landing operations.

[14] The main propulsion of the class appears to employ a gas-turbine setup; for this reason, the flight decks of the ships will have a twin-island configuration.
