Ocean’s compliment Ship’s Company of 450 personnel includes 9 Assault Squadron Royal Marines (9 ASRM), who operate the four Mk5 landing craft vehicle and personnel (LCVP), and provide the projection of fighting capability ashore for HMS OCEAN. The 21,500 tonne amphibious assault ship was launched in 1995, has a top speed of 16 knots and a range of 8,000 miles.
