RFA Tidesurge operating in the Arctic

[@internetenjoyer1044]

there's something so satisfying about watching at sea refueling, particularly in weather like this. it's just pure seamanship

[@mvnorsel6354]

30 years ago I worked my way from Tromso to Spitsbergen on a cargo ship replenishing fishing boats. Travelling alone opens many doors. Greeting from Australia.

Just a bit wet there! Thanks for sharing this. Stay safe all on the exercise

[@Delta2D2]

I see this ship often in Loch Striven. It’s HUGE! It’s amazing seeing those waves over the bow. I missed an opportunity in life…

Don't worry you didn't miss much

Informative. Interesting to see how difficult conditions can be for RAS.

No cover on the gun ? Thanks for the video.

Tough conditions!!!

[@ThomasSteffien]

impressive...

[@ThatCarGuy]

Would have been great with sound. Those bilge pumps are working overtime. Hard conditions to work in with how cold, wet, and snowy it was. Keep up the great work. USUK.

I wonder if the R.N. came across any abandoned russian submarines with the letter Z(written in white spray paint,badly😆).. .....🇬🇧

Nah, Ukrainian farmers already towed them into the barn.

Good camera work

Perfect UNREP weather!

[@jimrrussell8250]

Why no RAS Station on port front side

[@henryvagincourt4502]

Due to the Crane mainly operating port, there is a forth RAS rig astern, I assume Tidesurge can tow the ship being replenished, as RFA's could in my day.

[@cameronross5970]

The new Tide class are built to support the new carriers. The carriers have two fuel receiving bays on their Port side and one on the starboard side. The usual RAS manoeuvre has the carrier steaming along and the RFA approaches on her Port side. Therefore no need for an additional rig Port Side forward, on the Tidesurge

[@tonyyates2012]

I'm fairly certain I've seen duel RAS involving Tidespring, If memory serves it was QE and a Dutch frigate being served at the same time.

[@cameronross5970]

@@henryvagincourt4502 That is true but their primary role is carrier support

Im just glad when we get the RFA ships in there reasonably still, nope sorry you wouldn't even get me on it if the water was that choppy, I'd be 🤮
