It evolved from the original 1970s Type 072 into Type 072II, Type 072III, Type 072A, and Type 072B batches, with later ships adding stern access, helicopter-deck facilities, improved armament, and larger vehicle/troop loads while remaining simpler than China's Type 071 dock landing ships and Type 075 landing helicopter docks.

Public references describe a wave-piercing, radar-signature-reduced hull carrying eight YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, a 30 mm H/PJ-13 or AK-630-derived gun, waterjet propulsion, and enough sensors for local engagements while relying on wider PLAN targeting networks for longer-range missile employment.

Its most operationally relevant member is the Type 073A, a roughly 87 m LSM class used for amphibious lift, vehicle movement, and near-seas logistics; AMTI/CSIS imagery documented one at Mischief Reef during China's Spratly outpost deployments.

Open sources describe the 039B as a revised Yuan boat with sail, hull, flank-sonar, and acoustic refinements, while U.S. defense reporting groups delivered Yuan-class AIP attack submarines under the broader Type 039A/B designation.

Hudong-Zhonghua-built ships in the class combine helicopter spots, aircraft elevators, a hangar, vehicle space, and a well deck for landing craft, with source-backed dispute-context deployments and training in the South China Sea.

It moved the PLAN beyond older tank-landing ships by combining Type 726 LCAC capacity, Z-8 helicopter facilities, vehicle decks, and expeditionary support space, and it became an export design through Thailand's Type 071E HTMS Chang.

Naval News, Covert Shores, NTI, and GlobalSecurity describe it as an operational PLAN development of the Type 039A/B line, while public sources still leave the official designation, total production count, and exact weapon fit partly unconfirmed.
