HC Deb 29 October 1975 vol 898 cc551-2W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether HMS "Invincible" will be equipped to carry a Royal Marine commando unit into an amphibious operation; and in particular, whether she will (a) be able to carry substantial stocks of ammunition for their use, (b) provide living accommodation for a commando in addition to her own crew and (c) have a suitable operations room for control of an amphibious operation.

Mr. Judd

HMS "Invincible" has been designed as an anti-submarine warfare ship with command and control facilities, but she could make a contribution to amphibious operations if priorities required this.
