agree  philgoddard: Are you sure about "dock"? I can see that's what it's called in the Wikipedia article, but I've never seen a ship called a dock before. Carrier?//Yes, you're right :-)

  -> No, I'd never seen "dock" either but that seems to be the official and correct term. The particular Algerian ship isn't just a carrier - it's also a fighting ship for amphibious landings
agree  Shabelula: beh, io mi fiderei più del Thesaurus che di Wiki...... carrier si usa anche per la portaerei, mi sembra anche quella piuttosto grossa. http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/dock ?s=t
