The Galicia class is a class of two 13,900 t landing platform dock ships, belonging to the Spanish Navy. Built by Navantia in Ferrol, their mission is to carry amphibious warfare by transporting the bulk of the Infantería de Marina. These ships have both a large helicopter deck and a well deck for large landing craft, plus a garage for up to 33 main battle tanks. The SPS Galicia (L51) was commissioned in 1998 and the SPS Castilla (L52) in 2000. The Galicia and the Castilla are based at the Rota naval base in Spain.
