The first of the Royal Navy's new support ships, RFA Tidespring, has arrived in the UK ready for the next stage of work which will bring her into service.
The 39,000-tonne tanker will join the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, the civilian-manned fleet which provides support for warships, helping the Royal Navy maintain operations around the world.
Tidespring, which can carry up to 19,000 cubic metres of fuel and 1,300 cubic metres of fresh water, is the first of a fleet of four Tide Class tankers which will all now be taken through customisation work in Falmouth.
