RFA Wave Ruler (A390)
RFA ''Wave Ruler'' is a fast fleet tanker of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) of the United Kingdom tasked with providing fuel, food, fresh water, ammunition and other supplies to Royal Navy vessels around the world.
''Wave Ruler'' was built by Kvaerner Govan (after 1999, BAE Systems Marine) and launched in 2001. She was accepted into service in 2003 and is the 2nd ship to bear this name in RFA service. ''Wave Ruler'' and her sister ''Wave Knight'', were designed to replace ''Olna'' and ''Olwen'', two 36,000 ton fast fleet tankers which were built at Swan Hunter and Hawthorn Leslie in the 1960s.〔http://rfaaplymouth.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=128 O Class Fleet Replenishment Tankers〕
==Design==
''Wave Ruler'' has a standard crew of 80 Royal Fleet Auxiliary personnel with provision for a further 22 Royal Navy personnel to conduct helicopter and weapons systems operations.〔 She carries a full medical team and sick bay and is capable of distributing 2,000 emergency relief packages in times of crisis.〔http://www.navynews.co.uk/news/1251-lynx-flies-the-atlantic.aspx〕
The ship has the capability to supply fuel and other liquid cargo to vessels using replenishment rigs on port and starboard beams and through a Hudson reel-type stern rig. When providing support for amphibious operations, ''Wave Ruler'' is also able to deliver fuel to dracones positioned alongside. In addition to fuel, the ship carries ammunition and other stores which can be transferred while underway. She can operate a Merlin HM1 helicopter, or other helicopters of similar size, from a hangar and flight deck at the stern.〔
