Recommendation
In the meantime, the Department must rely on RFA Fort Victoria, which has limited cargo capacity, to provide the carriers with stores and munitions. RFA Fort Victoria entered service in 1994 and is due to retire in April 2028, having already been extended beyond its 25-year service life. Furthermore, this ship will be unavailable for much of 2022 as it undergoes major maintenance work.54
