The Type 722 II class LCAC with NATO reporting name Jinsha II class LCAC (Chinese: 金沙; pinyin: Jīnshā; lit. 'golden sand') is a medium size air-cushioned landing craft (hovercraft) operated by the People's Liberation Army Navy of China. It is frequently but erroneously referred by many as Dagu class, its predecessor, due to misspelling and lack of information in the 1970s, when these projects first appeared. There are also other names for this class, mostly resulting from different transliterations.
