Landing Helicopter Docks (LHDs) are versatile naval vessels designed to support amphibious operations. They can carry helicopters, landing craft, and troops, allowing for the rapid deployment of forces to shore. LHDs often serve as command ships and can provide medical support and logistical services. These ships typically feature a flight deck for helicopter operations and a well deck for launching and recovering landing craft. LHDs are crucial for military operations, humanitarian missions, and disaster relief, enhancing a navy's ability to project power and respond to crises effectively.
