Ocean/Atlantico Landing Helicopter Dock

HMS Ocean was a British helicopter carrier built for amphibious operations and support of landing forces. After service with the Royal Navy, the ship was sold to Brazil and became Atlântico. The two names therefore identify successive national careers of the same vessel, not separate classes or a conventional fixed-wing fleet carrier with catapults.

Commissioned in 1998, Ocean was designed around the movement of Royal Marines and their equipment using helicopters and landing craft. Commercial shipbuilding practices helped control cost, while the ship provided a large aviation platform without the machinery of a fleet carrier. Royal Navy deployments included operations connected with Iraq and humanitarian assistance. Decommissioned in 2018, it transferred to Brazil and began a new career. Brazilian modifications and changing designations reflected different national requirements while retaining the original hull’s amphibious and aviation foundation.
