"THE NEXT GENERATION OF RFA SHIPS"
Cdr Kevin Hood RN &
1/O John Poole RFA
This talk follows on from previous presentations
which described the next generation of RN submarines and more recently,
the future aircraft carriers. For the new aircraft carriers to be
able to carry out out their task the support of the RFA will be critical
and next generation of RFA ships are being designed and built with this
role in mind.
The speakers will set the scene by describing the role of
the RFA and how it supports “The Fleet”. They will then go on to describe
the new ships and how they will carry out their task.
