About RFA Plumleaf
RFA Plumleaf (A78) was a Leaf-class support tanker of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA), the naval auxiliary fleet of the United Kingdom. Launched on 29 March 1960, she measured 12,692 gross register tonnage, with a length of 562 feet, a beam of 72 feet 1 inch and a draught of 30 feet 1⁄4 inch. She was powered by a 6-cylinder diesel engine giving the ship a top speed of 14 knots.
