"Bulwark has executed each task to an exceptionally high standard and I am delighted that this has been recognised through these awards. Every member of the Bulwark team should be justifiably proud of their achievements."
In 2012 the ship took part in Nato's Arctic exercise Cold Response, played a key role in Olympic Games security off Weymouth and Portland, and led the UK Response Task Force Cougar 12 Mediterranean deployment.
At a separate event on board in Plymouth Rear Admiral Clive Johnstone, who heads Flag Officer Sea Training at Devonport, presented the crew with the efficiency award pennant.
The ship's head of engineering, Commander Nigel Wright, received the Standing Joint commander (UK) commendation for his contribution to Olympics security.
