So far the only thing they've shown of the type 093 is the sail.

The Chinese are in spiral development. That means they build a few of a class, take what they've learned, and then build a new class based on the lessons they learned from constructing and experimenting with the previous ship. I wouldn't expect them to build a whole lot of any single ship or submarine class, the way they knocked off Romeos for so long. They're trying to learn as much as they can so they can modernize their fleet.

LPD-17 would be nice, or even n LPD-4, SOMETHING. I mean, geez.. if we put a bunch of US Marines on a British LPD, we'd have a mutiny on our hands when they got back to the US ships because they'd have to switch back from good beer to coolaid. We can't have that.
