USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD-28) is the twelfth Flight I San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship of the United States Navy.

[9]: 9  The main design features intended to reduce the cost of Fort Lauderdale compared to the San Antonio-class on which she is based are simplified bow works, replacement of the forward and aft composite masts with steel masts, removal of structures from the boat valley, and a stern gate which is open at the top.

[3] This will make Fort Lauderdale a "transitional ship" between the current San Antonio-class design and future LX(R) vessels.

[9]: 9 Fort Lauderdale incorporates high temperature superconductor-based mine protection degaussing system built by American Superconductor to reduce the magnetic signature of the ship.

[10] On 9 March 2016, the ship was given the name Fort Lauderdale,[11][12] and the contract to build her was awarded to HII's Ingalls Shipyard on 19 December 2016.
