Royal Navy Replenishment at Sea
Three Royal Navy ships take part in a Replenishment at Sea or RAS. From left RFA Fort Austin, RFA Fort Victoria and HMS Illustrious are pictured transferring stores and fuel.
HMS Illustrious undertook a Replenishment At Sea (RAS) this morning. What was unusual about this RAS was the fact that there were 3 ships involved. Normally it is just one ship supplying another, but in this instance two supply ships were connected together along with Lusty.
RFA Fort Austin was transferring stores to RFA Fort Victoria by passing them under lines between the two ships, whilst at the same transferring stores to HMS Illustrious by helicopter. RFA Fort Victoria was also pumping fuel over to HMS Illustrious.
HMS Illustrious is currently deployed on Cougar 13. Cougar is the annual deployment of the UK Armed Forces Maritime Response Force Task Group to the Mediterranean and East of Suez. The deployment serves to protect the free, safe and lawful use of the sea and to promote UK interests by developing international partnerships. Cougar allows the UKs maritime assets to exercise with multinational forces in the Gulf region, enhancing our interoperability

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a remarkable display of naval coordination and teamwork as three Royal Navy ships engage in a Replenishment at Sea (RAS). From left to right, the impressive vessels include RFA Fort Austin, RFA Fort Victoria, and HMS Illustrious. What makes this particular RAS truly extraordinary is the involvement of not one but three ships. Typically, such operations involve only one ship supplying another. However, in this instance, two supply ships were connected together alongside HMS Illustrious. The transfer of vital supplies and fuel between these maritime giants was executed with precision and efficiency. RFA Fort Austin skillfully passed stores to both RFA Fort Victoria through lines connecting the two vessels while simultaneously delivering supplies to HMS Illustrious via helicopter. Additionally, RFA Fort Victoria diligently pumped fuel over to sustain the mighty HMS Illustrious. Currently deployed on Cougar 13 mission, HMS Illustrious plays a crucial role in safeguarding UK interests by protecting free and lawful use of international waters across the Mediterranean and East of Suez regions. This annual deployment allows for valuable exercises with multinational forces in the Gulf region while enhancing interoperability among maritime assets. This awe-inspiring image serves as a testament to the unwavering dedication and professionalism exhibited by our Armed Forces as they forge international partnerships and ensure global security on land and at sea.
