About IMO 7383889

RFA Reliant (A131) was a helicopter support ship of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. She was built in 1977 in Poland, at the Gdańsk Shipyard, as a conventional container ship with roll-on/roll-off capability for loading vehicles and containers for the Harrison Line. She was named Astronomer. She was taken up from the trade in 1982 for service in the Falklands War as an aircraft transport, being fitted with a temporary mid-ships flight deck and hangar forward to carry 13 helicopters. At the conclusion of 1982, she was chartered by the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence (MoD), leading to a more extensive conversion. She was equipped with the Arapaho containerized aircraft handling system, a hangar, and a flight deck, subsequently entering service with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary as RFA Reliant.
