But no capacity to land heavy vehicles.
They could but it would have required a doctrinal shift for the RN to give up the idea of landing vehicles ashore. A different question is if in the late 1980's with the Fearless LPD's approaching end of life and post Falklands if the RN had gone for two LHD's i.e. flat deck, hanger and dock all in one ship instead of the OTL Ocean and Albion combo.
Wasn't there a ramp from the vehicle deck??
Still no good for landing craft but I do wonder what the deck loading on the vehicle deck was.
