Amphibious Warfare Ships
Amphibious warfare ships are specialized naval vessels designed to support military operations that involve landing forces on shore from the sea. These ships can carry troops, vehicles, and equipment, enabling them to conduct assaults on land. They often feature well decks for launching landing craft and helicopters for air support.
These ships play a crucial role in modern military strategy, allowing for rapid deployment and flexibility in various combat scenarios. Examples of amphibious warfare ships include Landing Helicopter Docks (LHDs) and Landing Ship Docks (LSDs), which are equipped to handle diverse missions, from humanitarian assistance to full-scale invasions.
