<p>The information requested is as follows and is accurate as of 12 February 2024.
‘Available’ is defined as ships not undergoing deep maintenance or preparing to undergo
deep maintenance.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Class</p></td><td><p>Not Available</p></td><td><p>Available</p></td><td><p>Total</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>RFA
Tide Class Tanker</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>RFA
Wave Class Tanker</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>RFA
Landing Ship Dock (Auxiliary)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>RFA
Primary Casualty Reception Facility</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>RFA
Auxiliary Oiler Replenishment</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>RFA
Offshore Support Vessel</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>The normal operating cycle of every ship involves them entering different readiness
levels depending on their programmes, periods of refit and Departmental planning requirements.
To maintain operational security, these figures cannot be broken down into any further
level of detail, however, I can confirm that these figures do include the new RFA
Offshore Support Vessel class.</p>
