Black Ranger has trained its fuelling rig outboard, the bight of the hose trailing in the sea. Reel Two. Aerial LS of a Type 12 frigate at sea, its 4.5-inch turret trained over the starboard beam - pan to show three more frigates ahead of the first. LS of Resource at sea. Cut to a harbour, where a Leander Class frigate and RFA Black Ranger lie alongside a jetty. Aerial shots of the two auxiliaries at sea together - Black Ranger has the traffic sign for 'school' as a badge worn on her funnel.
