Read the link again, Lizzie... ;)

"Wave Knight ordered the dhow to stop and used a Royal Navy armed force protection team as well as the ship's own weapons team to provide cover."

On an RFA thats speak for an old man with a pellet gun.  :-X


Exactly, and when I said "unarmed" that is what I meant,  The RFA fleet have no deck armenant, beit guns or missile launchers of any type.  They are not an armed warship.  A few civilians with pop pop guns are not a match to scores of heavily armed pirates, and do not make an RFA "armed".

When an RFA is in the company of an RN warship, or "battle group", which they have to travel alone between distributing their supplies, then they are of course fully protected.  When not they are as exposed as an other merchant ship. ;) ;) ;)

Yes. While a little bit of 'man on man' was ok in the RN, actually getting engaged was frowned upon.
