> 1 × Harbin Z-9 (Military Utility Helicopter)
> 1 × Changhe Z-18 (Medium-Lift Transport Helicopter)Note: Zhejiang is faster (much faster) than Dalian (when in their original ship form) thanks to her new nuclear-powered propulsion system. For comparison, China's current two carriers are indeed already faster than their Type 55 Destroyer counterparts though not by much and that's without the added benefits of being powered by a more advanced system. All this speed is negated in their KANSEN form, however, as both girls are much faster than the girls of Azur Lane but not each other. See the updated "Introduction to MC" chapter for the specific speed of Zhejiang.
Also, the picture depicting the ship with the Pennant Number of 101 is actually the sister ship of Dalian, Nanchang (in Azur Lane she'd be Dalian's big sister).
