So what's happening with her?

The ship was inwards for repairs and entered No3 dry dock.

Thanks, is the TV an official part of her name now or does it just denote Training Vessel which she became from 2005.

I really do not know George,she is identified on the port web site as TV TRISTRAM. Checked equasis not recorded. No new name was visible on the the ship.
Cheers Michael

The ship is used as a static training vessel by Royal Marines and is no longer an RFA but will still be on the "MOD Books". TV seems a handy abbreviation - it has previously been used for Target vessels. As it is not a merchant vessel it is unlikely to feature in Miramar.
