What does RFA mean ? R must be Royal and A must be assistance. I can't figure out letter F.

In Swedish we call them Trängfartyg - Common name for different type of supply vessels.

It was on one of these the name of this vessel was HMS Pelikanen (A247)

Worked on quite a few over the years in my capacity as a marine engineer prior to joining the police force.
