Motto:

RFA Fort Rosalie (A385) is a fleet stores ship of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. Fort Rosalie was formerly known as Fort Grange, but was renamed in May 2000 to avoid confusion with Fort George.

The ship was laid down in 1973 at Scott Lithgow and launched in 1976, being commissioned the next year. The ship saw its first war service during the Falklands War, and also supported British forces in Balkans alongside at the port of Split from 1997-2000. Fort Rosalie also oversaw repairs to HMS Tireless at Gibraltar later in 2000.
