    Great to see this ship again. I spent two years working in it when it was converted at Harland and Wolff in Belfast. It was formerly an Italian Roll-on Roll-off ferry known as the "Contender Bezant".
    I've plenty of stories to tell about building that ship. :-)))))

    Seeing the navy warms the cockles. Not for nothing the senior service and respect and admiration goes out to all our servicemen and women

      This is an RFA. It might be masquerading as an RN ship, but it is an RFA!!!!!!

      This is NOT the Royal Navy its the RFA and not for nothing is a double negative. Sg1a (B)...

      Ark and Subs are RN ships. This is an RFA masquerading as an RN ship

      @@flagwanker6346, it's not "masquerading" as you say. It is on attachment.
      It's original purpose was as an Aviation Training Ship complete with a hanger deck and flight deck. It has been temporarily repurposed as a Hospital Ship.

    Wow! A Primary Care Receiving Ship that is heavily armed, and a helicopter training ship. Served in the Falklands War and the Gulf War. Since it is not painted white with a red cross, it cannot be classified as a hospital ship even though it has x-ray and CT scanner in its fully functional hospital facilities. Rather impressive.
