Ouragan-class Landing Platform

The French Ouragan-class landing platform docks supported amphibious operations with a floodable dock, landing craft, helicopter facilities, and troop accommodation. They entered service during the Cold War and represented a step toward more flexible French amphibious capability. Their design supported the delivery and sustainment of forces ashore rather than fleet air-superiority operations. A well dock and helicopter facilities offered complementary ways of moving troops, vehicles, and stores from sea to shore. Their usefulness extended to evacuation and other non-combat tasks when required. The Ouragan class therefore illustrates the broad flexibility sought in postwar amphibious ships, whose success depended on landing craft and supporting organization as much as hull design.
