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.
Russia is a paper bear been saying for years and Ukrainian has proven it they show no threat to the Royal Navy chine is the only reason sea threat to the uk
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.
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.
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
there's something so satisfying about watching at sea refueling, particularly in weather like this. it's just pure seamanship

Just a bit wet there! Thanks for sharing this. Stay safe all on the exercise
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
I use to work at RFA second cook baker done RAS at sea loads of time brilliant
ABRAZOS FRATERNOS DESDE COPIAPO,ATACAMA,CHILE.!!!
Informative. Interesting to see how difficult conditions can be for RAS.
impressive...
Tough conditions!!!
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.
@@billbrockman779 Nice one 👍🏼. Yeah Ukrainian amphibious tractors snatched em from under their bows😆😆👍🏼

Perfect UNREP weather!
Why no RAS Station on port front side

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 + They were built to RAS all RN ships mucker.
@@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 🤮
