ENFORCER: THE 4TH GENERATION OF SUCCESSFUL AMPHIBIOUS SUPPORT
SHIPS
Since its inception, the ENFORCER Series of amphibious support
ships has been highly successful. Historically, the RNLN LPD
"Rotterdam", the first of the ENFORCER Series developed in
close cooperation with the RNLN, laid the foundation for securing
the contract for the
design of the 4 RN LSD(A) Bay Class vessels. Subsequently, the RNLN
LPD "Johan de Witt" contract utilized the experience
gained from previous generations.
Our advancements in modularity proved particular attractive,
enabling the independent selection of modules reflecting the
specific operational roles envisaged by the customer. In the process,
unique configurations are achieved in combination with significant
cost savings.
UNSURPASSED AMPHIBIOUS CAPABILITIES
The ability to transfer equipment and personnel quickly and
safely from ship to shore in a range of weather conditions is the
single most important capability demanded by today's diverse
operations.
The ENFORCER Series is characterised by a stern dock, which creates
a sheltered environment for the deployment of Landing Craft in
adverse conditions up to and including Sea State 4. This feature
provides for an unsurpassed operable weather envelope enabling
operations at about 80% of the time world wide, where alternative
concepts are capped at 30%.

SAFEGUARDING THE FUTURE: IMPLEMENTING LATEST TECHNOLOGY ON PROVEN
SHIPS
The global theatre changes rapidly, with more emphasis on
worldwide operations under a wide range of hostilities, for which
the ENFORCER Series has specifically been designed. Tomorrow's
demands on ships operating in changing environments are met by the
culmination of latest technology and by drawing on our vast
experience. For future constructions, the ENFORCER Series has been
further improved, covering an even wider range of applications. The
areas of improvement include: Signature reductions, Through Flight
Deck Configurations, Wider range of propulsion options, Enhanced
application flexibility.
PROPULSION & MANOEUVRING CONFIGURATIONS
The ENFORCER Series is equipped with diesel electric propulsion for
reasons of arrangement flexibility, through life cost, low
signatures, redundancy, reliability and low speed manoeuvrability in
confined waters.
Additionally, Diesel-Direct propulsion may be combined with Azimuth
thrusters and open propeller arrangements, when moderate speeds are
required. Furthermore, the customer is free to select the
appropriate funnel arrangement of his choice: far aft for reasons of
IR reduction or conventional.

BALANCING MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL STANDARDS
Royal Schelde has a vast experience in applying a unique combination
of commercial and military standards and specifications, enabling
customer desired military enhancements. These are generally achieved
by selection of commercial equipment made suitable for naval
application by smart interface engineering. IMO/SOLAS certification
and commercial classification notations are used as a standard.

COMMUNICATIONS AND COMBAT SUITE
The Concept of Operations and Range of Missions of the customer
determines the Combat System configuration. Royal Schelde
co-operates with all reputable combat system, weapon and
communications suppliers and can configure, integrate and deliver on
a turn-key basis the optimum combat system matching the ship's
mission profile.

MAIN CONFIGURATION CHARACTERISTICS
The Enforcer Series has been developed in 3 basic sizes, notably set
by the beam of the vessel. Selection of the aviation arrangement, a
Through Flight Deck (LHD configuration) or Aft Flight Deck (LPD
configuration), is largely dependent on customer preference and
experience and is both offered in the ENFORCER Series.
