An amphibious ship, recalled as HMS Fearless, carried British Army engineering vehicles during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The blockades had been planned on the assumption that British heavy equipment was unavailable nearby. Landing craft delivered the vehicles, which cleared the obstructions and then returned to the ship. Sea transport let the engineers bring in the equipment for the clearance and withdraw it afterwards.
