UMS Moattama (1501) also UMS Mottama ({{langx|my|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 {{sclass|Makassar|landing platform dock|4}} design used by Daesun Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. in Korea for the LPDs ordered by Indonesia and Peru. It is {{convert|125|m|ftin}} long and a beam of {{convert|22|m|ftin}}. It is also expected to be able to accommodate at least two Mi-17 medium helicopters in its flight deck.{{cite web |url=https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/myanmar-deploys-amphibious-ship-to-malaysia-as-part-of-repatriation-operations |title=Myanmar deploys amphibious ship to Malaysia as part of repatriation operations |website=www.janes.com |access-date=19 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210420012030/https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/myanmar-deploys-amphibious-ship-to-malaysia-as-part-of-repatriation-operations |archive-date=20 April 2021 |url-status=dead}}{{Cite web|last=Rubaiyat Rahman|first=Mohammad|date=9 November 2019|title=What Myanmar's New Amphibious Ship Says About Its Naval Ambitions|url=https://thediplomat.com/2019/11/what-myanmars-new-amphibious-ship-says-about-its-naval-ambitions/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201228034439/https://thediplomat.com/2019/11/what-myanmars-new-amphibious-ship-says-about-its-naval-ambitions/|archive-date=28 December 2020|access-date=28 December 2020|website=The Diplomat}}
