Currently we have 3 astute 4 building and 3 Trafalgar 1 in reserve
We also have HMS Ocean Bulwark & Albion which are our 3 main large amphibious ships, we also have 3 RFA Bay class vessels that provide a similar role and also on top of that the 4 point class vessels which are on permanent charter to the MOD which provide the same role as above.
So in all 10 large vessels open for amphibious assault
Power projection is based around the following abilities
political, economic, informational, and military - to rapidly and effectively deploy and sustain forces in and from multiple dispersed locations to respond to crises, to contribute to deterrence, and to enhance regional stability
