Amphibious assault ships
Amphibious assault ships are warships used to land and support ground forces in armed conflicts. They are developed from aircraft carriers, which are used as helicopter carriers, and modern designs support amphibious landing craft with well decks. Some ships also support V/STOL fixed-wing aircraft and have a secondary role as aircraft carriers.
