Picture is RFA GOLD ROVER with HMS LANCASTER in the background, together on Atlantic Patrol Task (South) duties.
RFA GOLD ROVER first joined HMS LANCASTER in the Falklands Islands back in June 2015 during the unforgiving South Atlantic winter. Since then, the two Ships have sailed to warmer climes, crossing the Atlantic to the remote island of Tristan Da Cunha, then on to conduct a month long maintenance period in South Africa. From there, they sailed in company up the West Coast of Africa with stops including Angola, the British Overseas territory of St Helena, Ghana and Togo.
Currently deployed to the South Atlantic, RFA Gold Rover stands ready to support Royal Navy warships operating in the region and will remain on task until 2017 when she comes to the end of her career. Pictured is HMS Lancaster afer her last Replenishment at sea (RAS) with RFA Gold Rover

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a breathtaking scene of RFA GOLD ROVER and HMS LANCASTER together on their Atlantic Patrol Task duties. These two ships have formed an inseparable bond since their first encounter in the harsh winter of the Falklands Islands back in June 2015. From there, they embarked on a journey to warmer destinations, crossing the vast Atlantic Ocean to reach the remote island of Tristan Da Cunha before heading to South Africa for a month-long maintenance period. Their voyage continued along the West Coast of Africa, making stops at various locations including Angola, St Helena (a British Overseas territory), Ghana, and Togo. Currently deployed in the South Atlantic region, RFA Gold Rover stands ready to support Royal Navy warships until her retirement in 2017. In this particular image, we see HMS Lancaster after her last Replenishment at Sea (RAS) with RFA Gold Rover. The atmosphere is serene as both ships sail through calm waters under a clear blue sky. The ensigns proudly fly atop each vessel as they navigate the vast ocean. This photograph by L (Phot) Will Haigh showcases not only the beauty of these naval vessels but also highlights their crucial role in maintaining security and peace across international waters.
