Royal Fleet Auxiliary
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what proportion of Royal Navy tasking is currently being carried out by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.
Answered by Al Carns
The Royal Navy (RN) and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) operate as an integrated maritime force. The RFA is a war fighting enabler that safeguards critical national infrastructure, afloat logistics, amphibious, and aviation facilities, and its contribution varies according to operational priorities and vessel availability.
The Ministry of Defence does not record a proportion between RN and RFA for operational activity.
