HMS Bulwark in the Mediterranean Sea
HMS Bulwark during operations in the Mediterranean Sea to rescue migrants in danger.
The role of the Landing Platform Dock ships, HMS Bulwark and HMS Albion, is to deliver the punch of the Royal Marines ashore by air and by sea, with boats from the landing dock in the belly of the ship and by assault helicopter from the two-spot flight deck. LPDs can carry 256 troops, with their vehicles and combat supplies, and this can be swollen up to 405 troops

EDITORS COMMENTS
The powerful image captures the HMS Bulwark, a formidable Landing Platform Dock ship, as it sails through the vast expanse of the Mediterranean Sea. This particular moment showcases the ship's crucial role in conducting humanitarian operations to rescue migrants in perilous situations. As part of its mission, the HMS Bulwark works alongside its counterpart, HMS Albion, to swiftly deliver Royal Marines and their equipment to shore via air and sea. The landing dock within the belly of the ship allows for seamless boat deployment while assault helicopters take off from its two-spot flight deck. With a capacity to carry up to 256 troops along with their vehicles and combat supplies, this versatile vessel can accommodate even more personnel if necessary. In this photograph captured by L (Phot) JJ Massey from Armed Forces, we witness not only an impressive display of naval power but also a symbol of hope and compassion. The presence of these LPDs in such critical missions highlights their significant contribution towards providing much-needed humanitarian aid. Amidst turbulent waters and challenging circumstances, these ships serve as beacons of assistance for those in need. They embody resilience and dedication as they navigate through treacherous conditions to save lives. The print serves as a reminder that behind every military operation lies an unwavering commitment towards protecting human life - showcasing both strength at sea and compassion on land.
