The Rhin-class amphibious assault ship are a class of amphibious assault ships used by the Sieuxerrian Navy. The Rhin-class take experience with older helicopter carriers and amphibious assault ships used by the navy and also used by other nations. They serve as a supporting ship to amphibious assaults, but also undertake roles in anti-submarine and sea control missions. They also can serve as the command center for naval landings as well.
