A03205V
One of the most famous British ships of the post-war period, HMS Fearless was a modern Amphibious Assault Ship known in naval terms as an LPD (Landing Platform Dock), a modern development of the vessels that proved so crucial during the D-Day landings towards the end of the Second World War. The first purpose-built ship of her type to be used by the Royal Navy, Fearless also had the distinction of being the last steam-powered surface ship supplied to the force.
During a notable service career which spanned more than 35 years, when Fearless was not representing the Royal Navy on a global stage, she could be found rescuing James Bond and Anya Amasova in their escape pod from the ocean around Malta, at the end of the movie ‘The spy who loved me’.
Decommissioned in 2002, HMS Fearless even made headlines during her disposal, as she became the first Western warship to be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
