'''RFA ''Tidepool'' (A76)''' was a {{sclass2|Tide|replenishment oiler}} of the [[Royal Fleet Auxiliary]].

''Tidepool'' had a long and busy life in the fleet. The ship participated in both the [[Cod Wars]] and the [[Beira Patrol]] during the 1970s. In 1982 when the [[Falklands War]] broke out ''Tidepool'' was on its way to [[Chile]] to be disposed of. The ship was temporarily reclaimed by the [[United Kingdom]] and was finally handed over to the Chilean Navy on 13 August 1982 and renamed ''Almirante Jorge Montt''.
