Royal Navy debate over new amphibious ships

A procurement question asks whether the Royal Navy has plans for additional LHDs.

Question

Were there current plans for the Royal Navy to build more LHDs?

Short answer

There was active internal discussion about the next generation of amphibious ships, but no public, settled construction plan in the passage.

Notes

The next generation of British amphibious shipping was under active discussion but still behind closed doors. The answer does not claim an approved class; it identifies the policy stage and the connection to replacing existing amphibious capabilities. That caveat makes this a useful historical snapshot of the debate rather than a prediction presented as settled procurement.
