Al Dhaferah is an amphibious transport ship in service with the Royal Navy of Oman since her construction in 1987. The vessel is capable of transporting 240 troops, but now works alongside the royal yacht.[2][3]
The vessel was previously named Fulk Al Salamah, but was renamed Al Dhaferah in 2016 after the delivery of the new Fulk Al Salamah.[4]
