RFA Fort Rosalie on the move to Cammel Lairds 8th October 2018

Royal Fleet Auxilliary fleet replenishment ship Fort Rosalie A385 was towed out of Birkenhead docks yesterday and taken to dry dock at Cammel Lairds by 4 Kotug/Smit tugs.

The vessel was "caught" by the strong currents upon exiting the lock at Alfred entrance and had to  drop an anchor to slow her swing!
