During World War II, a headquarters ship was responsible for communication between aircraft, ships and shore during amphibious operations.[1] The first such recognised ship was HMS Bulolo.[1]
The Royal Navy Captain-class frigates Dacres, Kingsmill and Lawford were converted to headquarters ships ahead of the Normandy landings.
