Taking troops and equipment where they need to be

Landing Platform Dock ENFORCER

In an insecure and rapidly changing world, the ENFORCER Landing Platform Docks (LPD) have been true ‘workhorses’ for their operators, being highly effective and flexible whatever demands have been made of them. DSNS is working hard to ensure its vessels are even better prepared for the future. By applying the latest technology and customer feedback and by drawing on our experience, we are constantly improving the ENFORCER series. This includes equipment and material upgrades, internal logistics and enhanced flexibility. The ability to transfer equipment and personnel quickly and safely from ship to shore in a range of weather conditions is the single most important capability demanded of amphibious ships. The ENFORCER LPD is characterised by a stern dock that creates a sheltered environment for the deployment of landing craft in adverse conditions, up to Sea State 4. This feature ensures an extensive weather window enabling operations for 80% of the time worldwide.
