The Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) is a civilian manned fleet of tankers and cargo ships. It exists to support the Royal Navy with all the services necessary to operate independently for extended periods anywhere in the world. The RFA also has the capability to provide the Royal Marines and the British Army with much of the heavy lift logistic support necessary to undertake and sustain out of area operations of significant size and duration.
