Rover class tanker

Rover class tanker

The Rover class is a ship class of small fleet tanker of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary of the United Kingdom. They are tasked with the support of naval warships by the replenishment at sea (RAS) with fuel oils and with limited supplies of other naval stores. For RAS tasking, they can refuel a vessel on either beam and a third trailing astern and have a large flight deck to allow VERTREP (vertical replenishment, with helicopters).
