RFA Tideforce

Swells, sun and showers as @RFATideforce and @deutschemarine’s FGS Bonn conduct a Replenishment at Sea in the @FOST exercise areas. A change to our usual routine, with Tideforce receiving fuel this time. NATO interoperability in all conditions

Although only a short visit, TFCE ships company enjoyed time ashore in Brest. Thank you to Brest Naval Base for being excellent hosts. Thank you to our liaison officer who gave an insight to the history of the Naval Base. Onwards to a busy training period!

An afternoon break from Replenishments so the crew could celebrate the 120th anniversary of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary

Here’s to 120 years of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary 👏 We hope @RFATidespring is celebrating today! Thank you for keeping us fuelled and sustained on #OpHighmast.

Happy 120th birthday to the RFA. 🎂 @RFAHeadquarters was established in 1905 to provide logistical & operational support for the @RoyalNavy. Its origins are marked by Admiralty circular letter number 9 of August 3, 1905. @LukePollard @AlistairCarns @RoyalNavy

Celebrating 120 years of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary! A special thank you to our escort, @RFATidespring for their support and commitment at sea throughout #OpHighmast thus far. #CSG25 #StrongerTogether
