# Nasr al Bahr (L2)

Nasr al Bahr is an amphibious warfare vessel operated by the Royal Navy of Oman. The vessel was launched in 1985.

Nasr al Bahr was ordered in 1982 from Brooke Marine by the government of Oman as a follow-on to the smaller Al Munassir. The design was similar to the Kalaat Beni Hammed class ordered by the Algerian National Navy and is considered to be of the same class, although it differs in details like its powerplant and sensors.

The vessel was designed to transport up to 380 tonnes (370 long tons; 420 short tons) of cargo or 7 main battle tanks along with 240 fully equipped troops which disembark from bow doors and a ramp, plus a number of landing craft. The vessel was also equipped with a helipad aft that could accommodate a helicopter up to the size of a Westland Sea King.
