RFA Olwen (A122)

RFA Olwen (A122) was an Ol-class "fast fleet tanker" of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA), the naval auxiliary fleet of the United Kingdom. She was the lead ship of her class, and launched in 1964 as RFA Olynthus, the second ship to bear this name. She was renamed Olwen in 1967 to avoid confusion with the Oberon-class submarine, HMS Olympus.
