Fearless was decommissioned in 2002 and awaited disposal in Fareham Creek, Hampshire, moored alongside her sister ship Intrepid.
In October 2007, it was reported that Fearless was to be scrapped in Belgium,
five years after the vessel was officially mothballed in Portsmouth.
On 17 December 2007, Fearless was towed to Ghent in Belgium to be broken.
This was the first warship successfully exported for recycling by any western government that fully complied with international agreements and the principles concerning environmentally sound management of waste.


Replacement LPDs Albion and Bulwark were ordered during the 1990s.
They were commissioned in 2003.
