What you'll learn
- On 7 July 2026 the British government presented a £2.4 billion agreement with the Netherlands for a new generation of amphibious ships, four for each navy; two months later the Ministry of Defence still described the joint programme as potential and subject to its business case.
- The distance between those two statements is a useful entry point into a wider European problem.
- Amphibious forces are usually described through their principal ships, yet the strategically relevant unit is not a hull.
