 Amphibious warfare vessels



Fearless-class amphibious assault ship



The Fearless-class is the first purpose built amphibious warfare vessels in the Royal Navy. Designed as Landing Platform Docks, they are designed to transport and land troops by sea either using Landing Craft Utility or helicopters. As constructed, the ships have an internal dock that is accessed via the stern - while in port, vehicles can simply drive up the stern ramp and into the internal vehicle decks. At sea, the ships can partially sink themselves at the stern, flooding the internal dock and allowing landing craft to come right up to the edge of the vehicle deck. Each ship carries four LCUs in the stern dock, with four smaller landing craft on davits on the superstructure. They provide accommodation for up to 400 troops (though if no vehicles are carried, up to 700 can be accommodated using the vehicle decks and corridors).

<p class="MsoNormal">The Round Table class, also known as the Sir Bedivere class or Sir class is a British ship class designed for amphibious warfare missions in support of the main amphibious warfare ships. They are designated landing ship logistic (LSL). The ships has both bow and stern doors leading onto the main vehicle deck, making them roll-on/roll-off, combined with ramps that lead to upper and lower vehicle decks. Thanks to their shallow draft, they can beach themselves and use the bow doors for speedy unloading of troops and equipment. The ships also have helicopter pads on both the upper vehicle deck and behind the superstructure.
