For those interested in the 'modern' RN I understand that the RFA Argus will leave Portsmouth under tow on Monday 23rd Feb., for Falmouth, for final de-storing, prior to (presumably) going for scrap.

On a brighter note the two former Royal Fleet Auxiliary Wave-class tankers are set for a return to service under new commercial ownership, keeping the ships available to allied navies rather than being scrapped or sold outside the NATO area.
