Royal Fleet Auxillary

The Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) is a fleet of support ships operated by the UK, designed to assist the Royal Navy. These ships provide essential logistics like fuel, supplies, medical aid, and transportation to naval vessels at sea, ensuring they stay operational longer and can reach distant locations. The RFA acts as a logistical backbone, enabling the Royal Navy to conduct sustained operations worldwide without relying solely on port support. Its role is similar to a mobile supply chain, ensuring naval ships have what they need to fulfill their missions effectively.
