Which ships serve as Royal Navy command platforms today?
Short answerAlbion and Bulwark provide the largest dedicated facilities, with useful capacity also aboard the Queen Elizabeth carriers and, more narrowly, Type 45 destroyers.
NotesAlbion and Bulwark are identified as the Royal Navy's principal purpose-equipped command ships. Their amphibious design provides the extensive staff and communications spaces missing from older assault ships. The Queen Elizabeth-class carriers also possess strong task-force command facilities. Type 45 destroyers can support a more limited staff, but they do not offer the same scale as the amphibious ships.
