You really don't want to build MARS in UK. No "merchant" yards left and when BAE built the Wave tankers the RFA paid £120M each eight years ago! In comparison, the current going rate for a commercial tanker with the same cargo capacity is ~$40-50M (£20-25M). There are a lot of naval extras on the Wave, but £90M -worth? I don't think so.......
