No. We parked HMS Ocean (LPH) in the Thames carrying naval Lynx for defence against waterborne threats and Army Lynx (with RAF Regiment(?) snipers) for dealing with light aircraft threats. She also had things like landing craft and command/communications capabilities.

It was odd looking down from Greenwich Park and seeing her there.
