ONE of the Royal Navy's largest ships is returning to its birthplace in the North-East this week.
Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel Fort George will berth at the Tyne Bulk Terminal, Jarrow, for a five-day visit to Tyneside.
RFA Fort George was built at the Swan Hunter yard and was launched in 1991.
The ship is affiliated to South Tyneside and, during the visit, will renew links with South Tyneside Borough Council, Newcastle Nautical College and the local Sea Cadet Unit, TS Collingwood.
