HMS Bulwark, the second of a new class of assault ship, was launched at the BAE Systems shipyard at Barrow-in-Furness on 15 November 2001. The seventh ship to carry the name, she was named by Lady Walker, the wife of General Sir Michael Walker.

Formally commissioned into the Royal Navy on 28 April 2005, HMS Bulwark is currently the Fleet Amphibious Flagship and High Readiness Assault Ship, ready for worldwide tasking.
