RFA Fort Victoria is currently in port ready to commence a planned maintenance period.

While we do not disclose the fine detail of forward availability forecasts to preserve the operational security of the Fleet, I can exceptionally confirm that RFA Fort Victoria was never tasked to participate in Exercise Steadfast Defender 2024.
