The joint Spain/Netherlands Rotterdam/Galicia class of Landing Platform Dock naval vessels are called the Enforcer class for export.[1][2][3][4][5] These vessels are designed to carry a battalion of troops and land them, and their vehicles. The vessels have a flight deck and hangar, for deploying helicopters, and a well deck for deploying landing craft.
Both Spain and the Netherlands built two vessels of this class.[1][2] The original design was a Netherlands design.[5] Spain and the Netherlands signed a Memorandum of Understanding in June 1992 to jointly develop this class of vessels.
