Wave-class tanker
The Wave-class tankers are a class of fast fleet tankers in service with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. The class is tasked with providing fuel, food, fresh water, ammunition and other supplies to Royal Navy vessels around the world. There are two ships in the class, RFA ''Wave Knight'' and RFA ''Wave Ruler''. The ships were ordered to replace the aging ''Ol''-class tankers RFA ''Olna'' and RFA ''Olwen''.〔 The two vessels have seen service in a number of locations, including anti-drug and hurricane relief operations in the Caribbean,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Navy ships help after hurricane. )〕〔( Cuba welcomes RN anti-drug ship )〕 anti-piracy activities around the Horn of Africa〔 〕〔http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20101001110155/http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/operations-and-support/royal-fleet-auxiliary/rfa-flotilla/fast-fleet-tankers/rfa-wave-knight/news/rfa-wave-knight-disrupts-pirate-attacks〕 and deterrent patrols in the South Atlantic.〔(Gordon Brown says UK is prepared in Falkland Islands )〕〔http://www.navynews.co.uk/news/783-hms-york-at-worlds-end.aspx〕
==History==
A contract was placed for the vessels in 1997 with Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering Ltd (Marconi Marine VSEL). Construction of ''Wave Knight'' began in 1998 at VSEL's Barrow-in-Furness yard and the ship was launched in 2000.〔 With the acquisition of Marconi Electronic Systems and its Marconi Marine subsidiary in 1999 British Aerospace became BAE Systems. BAE now owns VSEL in Barrow and the Yarrow and Govan shipyards on the Clyde. BAE transferred the construction of ''Wave Ruler'' to Govan in 2000 and the vessel was launched in 2001. Both vessels were commissioned in 2003.
