Summary

[edit]
Description
English: HMS Cumberland met up with RFA Wave Knight for a Replenishment At Sea (RAS). It is a tricky operation, passing ropes, wires and fuel hoses between ships moving at sea, but it is a task the Royal Navy carries out day in, day out. The Cumberland took on fuel, and Wave Knight's helicopter was used for a vertical replenishment (vertrep) at the same time.

HMS Cumberland, a Devonport based Type 22 frigate, had only recently arrived in the Caribbean, for the start of a short deployment. Her main roles in the area were Counter Drugs Operations (CD Ops) and Hurricane relief operations, should such assistance be required. The RFA Wave Knight had been in the Caribbean since March and had already had numerous takedowns of drug traffickers.
