Having recently re-assumed command of RFA Largs Bay, I would like to welcome all browsers to the ships web page. I very much hope that the information provided about the ship, her role and most importantly her people will be both informative and enjoyable. From my own position as a father and also chatting to my ship’s company, I am constantly reminded that the support of families and friends at home is an essential part of the fabric that makes up a contented seafarer. Equally, the opportunity for loved ones at home to keep up to date on the ship’s activities provides great assurance and this web page will undoubtedly assist the two-way process. 

Following a highly successful AURIGA deployment to the US, Largs Bay is currently conducting a maintenance period prior to continuing a busy autumn exercise and trial schedule in UK waters. She has also recently undertaken successful high profile visits to both the Bournemouth Air Show and the Largs Viking Festival. The varied nature of tasking continues to demonstrate the high versatility and capability of these valuable ships which repeatedly contribute vital integrated support to the delivery of UK military effect around the globe.

It is very much my intention to keep the web page fresh and up to date. Any feedback on the content of our pages is welcomed and I hope you will be able to follow our progress with interest.
