Re: Royal Navy Amphibious ships.
In terms of Army reinforcement to the Royal Marines, in the 1982 Falklands campaign, the RM brigade was reinforced with two British Army Para battalions, another regiment of 105mm light guns and two troops of light Tanks -CVR(T)- plus assorted Special Forces, SAM and logistic assets. Later joined by another British Army Brigade group.
These days British forces actually have much better amphibious assets than in 1982, that can carry both more and heavier kit and, shortly, will have far superior Carrier assets.
Outside of the USMC, the Royal Navy and Royal Marines have, by far, the best and largest Amphibious forces in the West.
