RFA Fort Victoria bombing
The bombing of took place on 6 September 1990, when a unit of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) planted two bombs aboard the Royal Fleet Auxiliary replenishment ship at Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where the vessel had been launched four months before. One of them exploded in the engine room, causing flooding and serious damage. The second device didn't explode and was defused several days later. The attack resulted in a two-year delay before ''Fort Victoria'' became fully operational.
==Early IRA actions against shipping==
One of the first IRA attacks on British ships since the Irish War of Independence was carried out against the Royal Navy fast-attack patrol boat HMS ''Brave Borderer'', which was damaged by gunfire from a Boys anti-tank rifle in September 1965 while paying a visit to Waterford, Republic of Ireland.〔White, Robert Williams (2006). ''Ruairí Ó Brádaigh: the life and politics of an Irish revolutionary''. Indiana University Press, p. 130. ISBN 0-253-34708-4〕 Another noteworthy operation against a British ship took place in April 1971, when the Royal Navy survey launch HMS ''Stork'' was towed outside the port and blown up by the IRA off Baltimore, also in the Republic.〔(The Sydney Morning Herald – 22 Abr 1971 )〕
In Northern Ireland itself, two civilian coal ships, the ''Nellie M'' and ''St Bedan'', were boarded, bombed and sunk by the Provisional IRA between 1981 and 1982 in Lough Foyle.
