Endeavour (210) is the fourth ship of the Endurance-class landing platform dock of the Republic of Singapore Navy.
The navy's intention to purchase the Endurance-class was revealed by former Defence Minister Dr. Tony Tan during his visit to Tuas Naval Base on 3 August 1996.
These ships were to replace the five ex-United States Navy (USN) County-class LSTs, which were acquired by Singapore from the United States in the 1970s.
ST Marine was awarded the government contract to design and build the four ships – a significant milestone for the local defence and shipbuilding industries given the scale and extensiveness of the programme.
Two additional SAF task groups have been deployed to the Gulf of Aden; RSS Endurance from June to October 2010 and Endeavour from August 2011.
