The Tide-class tanker is a class of four fast fleet tankers that entered service with the British Royal Fleet Auxiliary from 2017. The 37,000 t ships provide fuel, food, fresh water, ammunition and other supplies to Royal Navy vessels around the world.
Propulsion: CODELOD In service: from 2017 Aircraft carried: 1 x Wildcat or AgustaWestland Merlin Armament: 2 Phalanx CIWS; 2 30 mm cannons Speed: 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph) Range: 18,200 nautical miles (33,700 km; 20,900 mi)
Tide Class is a new fleet of four tankers being built to enhance the Royal Navy’s maritime capabilities. The first vessel in the class is due to be commissioned into the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) service in 2016.
The next-generation tankers are part of the Military Afloat Reach and Sustainability (MARS) project and are intended to replace the RFA’s ageing fleet of single-hulled tankers.
The vessels are designed by BMT Defence Services, in co-operation with BMT Reliability Consultants and BMT Isis, based on AEGIR tanker. The prime contractor Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) will oversee the construction of the vessels at its yard in South Korea.
The Tide Class vessels are intended to provide logistics support and services such as transportation of fuel, fresh water, food, and weaponry to the Royal Navy’s warships and vessels deployed across the world.
In addition to maintaining the Royal Navy’s bulk fuel replenishment at sea capabilities, the tankers can also conduct constabulary and humanitarian aid missions, as well as provide assistance to NATO and coalition allied forces.
