A captain in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) will make an emotional return to Merseyside on Monday January 7. After a three-month deployment to the Middle East and Indian Ocean, it marks his final voyage after an incredible 44 years at sea.
Captain Dale Worthington OBE, 61, from Southport, is the commanding officer of RFA Fort Rosalie, a massive replenishment and supply ship which supports the work of the Royal Navy around the world. He and his crew on board RFA Fort Rosalie will sail into the Cammell Laird shipyard at Birkenhead on Monday for the start of a 22-week period of refit.
