Al Fulk (L141) is an amphibious transport dock of the Qatari Emiri Navy.[4]

Development

The ship was built by the Italian firm Fincantieri as an enlarged and improved version of the San Giorgio class similar to the Algerian Kalaat Béni Abbès. The ship measures 143 metres (469 ft) long and 21.5 metres (71 ft) wide.[4]

Al Fulk has a continuous flight deck with two deck-landing spots for helicopters at the bow and stern. Besides its role as an amphibious transport dock, Al Fulk is also tasked with ballistic missile defense.

Construction and career

Al Fulk was ordered in 2016, with her keel being laid in 2021.[3] Her launch took place on 24 January 2023.[1][2] Her sea trials started in May 2024.[5]
