Amphibious transport dock = an amphibious-warfare ship carrying Marine units and supporting landings

The San Antonio class (LPD-17 class) is an amphibious-warfare ship — an amphibious transport dock — that carries Marine Corps personnel, vehicles, and supplies and projects forces from sea to shore using air-cushion landing craft (LCAC) launched from its well deck and helicopters/tiltrotors (e.g., the MV-22) from its flight deck. LPD-22 is one such ship.

Though overshadowed by higher-profile types like nuclear submarines and carriers, amphibious-warfare ships underpin Marine Corps mobility and form part of the Navy's shipbuilding portfolio. This award illustrates their scale.
