EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the majestic RFA Wave Knight (A389) at sea, showcasing its impressive presence and capabilities. As a member of the Wave Knight-class fast fleet tanker, this vessel has been an integral part of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary since its launch in 2000. With a crew of 72 dedicated Royal Fleet Auxiliary personnel and provision for 26 Royal Navy personnel, Wave Knight is well-equipped to handle various operations. From supporting amphibious forces to engaging in anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare missions, this ship plays a crucial role in protecting vital sea areas and shipping. One of Wave Knight's notable features is its ability to deliver fuel through replenishment at sea (RAS) rigs. Whether it be port, starboard, or astern refueling, this tanker ensures that other vessels receive the necessary fuel supply. Additionally, for amphibious support purposes, Wave Knight can also deliver fuel to pillow tanks or dracones positioned alongside. This print not only showcases the power and versatility of RFA Wave Knight but also pays tribute to its predecessor ships Olna and Olwen. Built decades earlier by Swan Hunter and Hawthorn Leslie respectively in the 1960s, these older tankers paved the way for modern advancements within the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. Overall, this image serves as a reminder of the dedication and commitment exhibited by both past and present naval personnel who serve on board RFA Wave Knight.
