Checked it now. They were fresh water carriers. Rather to my surprise there were 14 of them. Not knowing much about the RFA my perception was their ships always berthed alongside but thinking about they might well have anchored in the roads due to size or no berth. Freshspring spent a long time in Malta which would be a logical place to supply fresh water because a lot of RN ships anchored in the Grand Harbour.
