RFA Oakleaf (A111)
RFA ''Oakleaf'' (A111) was a Leaf-class fleet support tanker, formerly of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, and the second ship to bear the name.
Formerly the Swedish vessel MV ''Oktania'', built by A. B. Uddevalla, Sweden, and completed in 1981, ''Oakleaf'' was added to the Royal Fleet Auxiliary in 1986, before being decommissioned in approximately 2009.
==Role==
As well as their role of replenishing warships at sea, support tankers perform the bulk movement of fuels between Ministry of Defense (Navy) depots. The ''Oakleaf'' had three Leaf-class sisters - ''Brambleleaf'', ''Bayleaf'' and ''Orangeleaf'', of which only ''Orangeleaf'' remains in service. All four were originally designed as commercial tankers and underwent major conversions to bring them up to Royal Fleet Auxiliary standards and equip them for naval support. These involved adding a considerable amount of electronics, both in communications and navigational aids, fitting two replenishment rigs and increasing the amount of accommodation.
While the ships can provide some food and stores support, their main cargoes are diesel and aviation fuel. ''Oakleaf'' was capable of replenishing ships with fuel using a standard jackstay or derrick rig abeam and towed rig for astern replenishment. She was fitted to take containers on her main deck for the provision of stores and to enhance ship's stores capabilities for long deployments.
