RFA Black Rover (A273).
The Royal Fleet Auxiliary, small fleet tanker, RFA Black Rover is seen in this image tied up at Southampton's Berth 101 which is located very close to the Mayflower Park. I have no idea why she was berthed here rather than at the Marchwood Military Port that is located on the opposite side of the River Test. At the end of her working life she was towed to Portsmouth and offered up for disposal in 2017. This image was captured in November 2005.
