The Fort Victoria is a Fort-class combined fleet stores ship and tanker. She was commissioned in 1994. In July 2017 she returned to the UK after a 26-month deployment, much of which was spent East of Suez. She will soon be modified to support the RN's new aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.

A hazy sunset looking across from Fort Victoria to Hurst Castle. Just proves the best camera is the one in your pocket as this was taken on a pocketable camera setup whilst out for a dog walk. A beautiful evening and location to watch the sun go down.

Dont show this to any health and safety officers.
Another couple of shots from our walk in the woods around Fort Victoria, Yarmouth. The light wasn't always great (it was for this shot) but the 50mm f1.2 makes the most of what's available when you open it up.

Royal Navy and Royal Marines Commandos board a Somalian whaler suspected of being operated by pirates in the Indian Ocean off the Horn of Africa.
The Royal Navy has struck at the heart of Somali piracy operating in the Somali basin. RFA Fort Victoria was patrolling in an area approximately 420 nautical miles from the Seychelles and 350 nautical miles from the Somali coast as part of NATO’s combined task force 508.
Early that morning, she received information that a Spanish fishing vessel operating to the north of their position had come under attack from a group of pirate vessels to the North of their position. The ship’s Lynx helicopter was quickly despatched to investigate.
Once at the scene, the helicopter identified two suspect vessels, a whaler and a skiff, in the vicinity of the fishing vessel. The faster of the two, a skiff, sped away at over 25 knots as the helicopter gave chase. When the skiff ignored orders to stop, a specially trained sniper onboard the Lynx helicopter fired warning shots ahead of the fleeing vessel which stopped and the suspected pirates onboard were then transferred to Fort Victoria via boat.
Fort Victoria’s Royal Marines boarding team then boarded the whaler and another skiff in the vicinity. As a result of the day’s action, a total of seven suspected pirates were detained onboard Fort Victoria along with their whaler as evidence, with no injuries being sustained by either side.
