I'd just like to clear that up having just disembarked from Bulwark.
Bulwark sailed for OIF and Calash in Jan of this year! She was on the way home with a very tired ships company. Bulwark recently lost its "air det" of 2 Lynx but serves as a very capable floating airfield apart from the Chacons on the side.
Also she will make at least 12 kts in that temp if everything remains servicable.
I feel immensly sorry for all the ships company and some of the Wardroom that will remain away.... bit of luck I got off in time!
