RFA ''Diligence'' is a forward repair ship of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. Launched in 1981 as a support ship for North Sea oil rigs, she was chartered by the British government to support naval activities during the 1982 Falklands War and was later bought outright as a fleet maintenance vessel.〔 She gave assistance to the damaged USS ''Tripoli'' and ''Princeton'' in the 1991 Gulf War, and to Sri Lanka after the 2005 tsunami.〔 She typically has deployments of 5-8 years in support of the ''Trafalgar''-class submarine on duty east of Suez, with a secondary role as a mothership for British and US minesweepers in the Persian Gulf.〔 ==Launch and the Falklands War== ''Diligence'' was built by Öresundsvarvet AB, in Landskrona, Sweden and launched in 1981 as a civilian oil rig support ship. She first served the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) during the Falklands War as a civilian owned ship taken up from the trade (''STUFT''). As MV ''Stena Inspector'', the ship repaired many British vessels. ''Stena Inspector'' was purchased by the Government in 1983 for £25 million from Stena Offshore UK and renamed ''Diligence''. She was sailed to the Clyde Dock Engineering facility, where she was converted and military features added, including a large workshop for hull and machinery repairs, supply facilities, accommodation, armaments and magazines and communications fits.
