Role
RFA Wave Ruler’s role is to deliver food, fuel, water and other essential supplies to Royal Navy and coalition warships, allowing them to remain at sea on operations for months at a time.
Wave Ruler and her crew can also support amphibious forces, anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare operations. They also play a vital role in protecting shipping routes, countering piracy, and providing humanitarian relief.
The ship is being decommissioned with her role taken over by one of the four larger, more modern Tide-class replenishment ships.
