UMS Moattama (1501) also UMS Mottama (Burmese: မုတ္တမ) is the first landing platform dock (LPD) and current flagship of the Myanmar Navy. Like other LPDs, Moattama is designed for amphibious operations, transportation of personnel as well as disaster relief and humanitarian assistance. It has a well deck and two helicopter landing spots and hangar. Moattama was based on the Makassar class design used by Dae Sun for the LPDs ordered by Indonesia and Peru. It is 125 metres (410 ft 1 in) long and a beam of 22 metres (72 ft 2 in). It is also expected to be able to accommodate at least two Mi-17 medium helicopters in its flight deck.
Myanmar joins other navies in the ASEAN region that operate LPD-type ships including Indonesia and the Philippines which operate ships based on the Makassar class, and Singapore and Thailand which both operate ships based on the Endurance-class design.
