Description
08:30 23rd May 2013, first to arrive for the BOA70 weekend...HMS Bulwark.
An Albion class , amphibious transport dock. The ship is designed to send large numbers of men and vehicles ashore as quickly as possible.Her 64m flight deck can take 2 Sea King HC4's or AW101 Merlin medium lift helicopters and stow a third.The deck can also support 2 Chinook heavy lift helicopters,
In 2011, HMS Bulwark became the flagship of the Royal Navy.
Well they're arriving, it's blowing a gale giving very rough conditions, a bit like the Atlantic, and I'm sure they'll all be glad to get into port......

Interesting and educational!

"In 2011, HMS Bulwark became the flagship of the Royal Navy." ...given how much I know about our illustrious country's military history, should I know be officially depressed? All the same another great piece of factual data mate!

beautiful shot!

Great shot of the ship! I am surprised this is the flagship. No battleships or carriers left?

Great shot! I wouldn't be on that ship (or any other floating craft) in calm water, much less a gale. Sterner stuff than I sail the seas.

Cool image mate and if you zoom it seems like there is a John Deere tractor on the deck :)

Looks like a cruise ship without port holes. Considering the weather, this is a fine photo. The fog adds to the shot, as one would expect to see this at sea. Zooming gives an idea of how large the ship is - almost like a WWII battleship, though it definitively doesn't pack the same whalop! But, that's not its purpose, being a very efficient landing craft. Keep up the good work, Neil. This is really enjoyable! :-)

Flagship huh? Not impressive really for a flagship BUT! This could be a great event, I must make an effort to see more ships... (note made!).. Good shot.. Rob
