The Royal Navy’s newly acquired vessel RFA Proteus is pictured on the Thames near Gravesend sailing to London for a naming ceremony. The Ministry of Defence acquisition of the ship for $62 million, previously called Topaz Tangaro, is to constrain the increasing threat of the Russian Navy’s submarines attack on under water infrastructure such as gas pipes and communication cables after Russian activities in the invasion of Ukraine. RFA Proteus will operate in the European and Atlantic waters as a MROSS (Multi-Role Ocean Surveillance Ship) vessel. Daily Life.
