RFA Fort George (A388) is a combined fleet stores ship and tanker of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.
Fort George, and her sister ship RFA Fort Victoria, combine the functions of ocean-going fast fleet support tanker and stores support ship - a new concept in logistics support policy at the time, as the prevailing fashion had been fro single-role support ships and tankers.
RFA Fort George was laid down at Swan Hunter on Tyneside in March 1989, and was launched by Lady Annie Slater, wife of the then Commander-in-Chief Fleet Admiral Sir Jock Slater, just under two years, just under two years later.

Fort Rosalie was despatched in haste from the UK – a late addition to the main Task Group – and eventually joining up with her fellow ships in the Red Sea.
At one time the RFA ship was meant to have deployed with the original Naval Task Group 2003 (NTG03), but when that group was reduced in size Fort Rosalie returned to the UK, arriving back in Scotland at the end of May.
Fort Rosalie is fitted with a large flight deck and can provide hangar space for up to four Sea King helicopters – which can also be used to re-supply warships in a Task Group by means of vertical replenishment (or VERTREP).
