    Default RFA Fort Austin (A386) visit funchal

    I did notice that RFA FORT AUSTIN-A386 Fleet Support Stores Ship where in Funchal today



    info
    RFA Fort Austin (A386) is a fleet stores ship of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.
    Fort Austin was laid down at Scott Lithgow in 1975, launched in 1978 and commissioned in 1979. When the Falklands War began, the ship headed south, taking part in the landings at San Carlos Water as an ammunition ship. In 2000, the ship was part of the British deployment to help restore order in Sierra Leone.
