The fourth in the LSD(A) Class - Lyme Bay
These highly capable 16,000 tonne vessels provide logistical support to the Royal Navy’s amphibious assault ships and are operated by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.
The LSD(A) is designed to move troops with their ammunition, vehicles and stores to wherever they are required around the world and deliver them as a fighting force directly into battle by landing craft, mexeflote powered raft and helicopter. This capability could just as easily be used in humanitarian relief as in war fighting.
