FORT AUSTIN - A386

The Royal Fleet Auxiliary FORT AUSTIN arrived back on the Upper Firth this afternoon after having spent the past couple of weeks on exercise in the English Channel. Clydebuilt, she was laid down at the Scott Lithgow shipyard in December 1975, and launched in March 1978. Since entering naval service in 1979, she has seen service in the Falklands War, the Gulf War and in the Adriatic.
