| * As a result of the withdrawal from service of HMS FEARLESS announced on 7 March 2002 (Official Report, column 474W), there were no Landing Platform Docks in the strength of the Fleet as at 1 April 2002. However, two Landing Platform Dock replacements (HMS ALBION and HMS BULWARK) are planned to enter service in 2003. |
