All of these 48, long ton AOEs have been operated by the MSC since As with the Sacramento -class, a fifth ship was canceled. The Navy plans to begin in the construction of a class of oilers "that is smaller than a full-sized oiler" because "the Navy wants to begin shifting to a new, more distributed fleet architecture i.

naval forces by concentrating its attacks on a relatively small number of large, high-value U. Navy ships. A replenishment oiler, like an AOE, supplies ammunition and dry stores in addition to fuel, but is not as fast and typically only is capable of the usual auxiliary speed of knots.

AORs historically have also been smaller than AOEs. The first ship to carry the AOR-designation was USS Conecuh , which was acquired as a war prize in These ships, similar to but smaller and slower than the AOEs, though larger and faster than the Neosho -class, were designed for rapid underway replenishment using both connected replenishment and vertical replenishment supplies carried from ship to ship by helicopters.

The ships could carry , barrels of petroleum fuel, tons of munitions, tons of dry stores, and tons of refrigerated supplies. With the overall reduction in size in the US Navy fleet, these ships were all decommissioned and stricken during the s.

The T-AOT Transport Oilers or Transport Tankers are part of the Military Sealift Command's Sealift Program, carrying fuel for the Department of Defense. Some ships were equipped with an offshore petroleum discharge system OPDS , which allowed them to supply fuel to forces ashore after an amphibious assault without port facilities.

They are operated by civilian crews. The three survivors of this class were reclassified from Fleet Oilers AO to Transport Oilers AOT. American Explorer gained some notoriety in as a stricken hulk awaiting scrapping when she broke her moorings during Hurricane Gustav and collided with New Orleans' Florida Avenue Bridge.

The five T5 Champion -class tankers have double hulls and are ice-strengthened for protection against damage during missions in extreme climates. They were built by the American Ship Building Company of Tampa, Fla. These tankers embark on many unique missions including refueling the National Science Foundation in Antarctica and Thule Air Base in Greenland.

In MSC purchased four of the five outright, making them United States Naval Ships. Matthiesen is equipped for UNREP. American Osprey, Mount Washington, Chesapeake and Petersburg were Offshore Petroleum Discharge System OPDS ships.

There are no US Navy museum ships dedicated specifically to oilers. There is one model of an oiler that has been on display at the Defense Logistics Agency , in Fort Belvoir , Virginia. She is the Tamalpais AO , named for a creek on a hill above Sausalito, California.

With the new hull designation system of she was redesignated AO Until they were designated "Fuel Ship No. Maumee was the first large US Navy vessel with diesel engines.

In Maumee also became the first ship in the world to refuel others while underway in wartime conditions, and the first to do so in rough seas, having been positioned in the mid-Atlantic to aid the crossing of short-legged US destroyers to Britain under the supervision of her Chief Engineer, Lt.

Chester W. Wartime acquisitions of civilian tankers. Robert L. With the advent of the Navy's new hull-numbering system in they were designated AO-8 and AO Cuyama was the first oiler to refuel a large ship underway by the broadside method, the cruiser Omaha in Two of these oilers were lost to Japanese action.

Completed just after the war, the Patoka -class ships, at Similar in size and speed to the Patoka, -class, the Alameda -class also served principally as transport tankers. The Cimarron -class oilers was a T3 Tanker class of 35 large, fast twin-screw oilers that began entering service in , the Navy for several years having campaigned for oilers adequate to its needs, as the Patoka and Alameda classes clearly were not.

The increases in speed and the extraordinary size of the propulsion system the fastest commercial tankers then being built in the United States had only 5, s.

were obviously made to accommodate the navy's wishes, demonstrating once again the mutual interests shared between the navy and the maritime commission. Four of the ships were converted into escort carriers CVEs in , and two others were lost in combat.

From through , eight of the T3 type oilers were "jumboized" , including all five of the Mispillion -class and three of the Cimarron -class ships. This jumboization was done by cutting the ships in two with cutting torches, pulling the aft sections away, and moving in new mid-bodies and welding them to the bows and sterns.

After many other cutting and welding modifications a new long ship was created; the three Cimarron -class jumbos were known as the Ashtabula -class. USS Kaskaskia AO pioneered the superior span-wire or "Elwood" refueling rig in December The first ram-tensioned rig was installed on USS Pawcatuck AO in The second large oiler class built during World War II was the Kennebec -class.

Type T3-S-A1 Chiwawa class :. Gulf Oil's Gulf Dawn was requisitioned in April , renamed Big Horn and nominally designated AO; in fact she was modified into a Q-ship , a U-boat decoy equipped with concealed guns. She was transferred in to the Coast Guard as USCGC Big Horn WAO , then back to the Navy as a transport tanker in SS George G.

Henry had already served in the Navy in under her own name; as one of the few tankers to escape the Philippines in December and be available to the Allied fleet in Australia, she was recommissioned under an emergency bare-boat charter at Melbourne the following April and named for the Australian state.

Her civilian master, a Naval Reserve officer, was placed on active duty and continued in command. The third large oiler class built during World War II was the Suamico -class.

The T2-SE-A2 Escambias subclass had more powerful engines and were markedly faster than the -A1s. One of these oilers sank in , and a second in Military Sealift Command MSC service in Some of the Escambias were later transferred to the US Army and used as mobile electric power plants in Vietnam.

The T2-SE-A3 Cohocton subclass were mostly canceled, but would have differed from the A2s only in being built from the start with UNREP gear rather than being converted by the Navy. Type T2-SE-A2 Escambia subclass :.

The elderly tanker J. Donnell was acquired in January with the intent of using her as a floating storage tank at New Caledonia. When it turned out that concrete barges could fulfill that role, USS Pasig was briefly returned to her owners in September.

Her name was given to one of the Escambia -class, with hull number AO Sinclair Oil's Daniel Pierce was requisitioned in March and renamed USS Shikellamy AO ; in July however she was converted to a gasoline tanker and redesignated AOG Type T2-SE-A3 Cohocton subclass :.

The USS Conecuh was the former German tanker Dithmarschen and was acquired as a war prize in She was reclassified as the first fleet replenishment tanker AOR. The Missions were Type T2-SE-A2 ships like the Navy's Escambia -class ordered by the Maritime Commission in as civilian-operated transport tankers.

The original order was for thirty, but six were taken over by the Navy and commissioned as AO to 96; on the other hand the Maritime Commission took over three canceled Navy oilers of the nearly identical T2-SE-A3 type. After operating under civilian charter during the late war and immediate postwar period, transporting fuel to the many US forces overseas, they were transferred to the Naval Transportation Service in and the new Military Sea Transportation Service MSTS in Three Mission -class ships were later converted to Missile Range Instrumentation Ships T-AGMs.

Mission Santa Ynez , scrapped in , was the last survivor of the over T2 tankers built during World War II. Five Type T2-SE-A1 tankers were transferred to the USSR under Lend-Lease and four returned to the United States in , making them part of the extended Suamico family.

The Maritime Administration replaced the wrecked Donbass ex- Beacon Rock with her sister Sappa Creek. Six of these oilers were completed during and The final PROBE fueling device design was approved in , consisting of a male fitting attached to the terminal end of a seven-inch hose".

These were the first tankers built specifically for the MSTS later the Military Sealift Command. The ships were not designed for underway replenishment refueling ships at sea , but rather, they were made to carry bulk quantities of petroleum products, such as fuel oil , diesel fuel , and aviation fuel , to American and allied military forces overseas.

At some time after the loss of USNS Potomac, the three survivors were reclassified as Transport Oilers AOT. At the time of the Suez Crisis the MSTS purchased twelve additional T2-SE-A1 merchant tankers, making them belated members of the vast Suamico class.

Their naval service was temporary; with the strain on US tanker capacity easing in late the twelve were transferred to Maritime Administration custody and struck. A T5-S-RM2a tanker, American Explorer was laid down in , intended to be the world's first nuclear-powered tanker, but construction costs ballooned; the MSTS, using funds left over from the construction of the Maumee -class, funded her completion with a conventional steam plant.

By the MSTS, now renamed the Military Sealift Command MSC , was operating an aging tanker fleet comprising largely WW2-built ships, which were wearing out. With limited budgets, MSC hit upon a build-and-charter program, under which new tankers would be built for private ownership but chartered to MSC for twenty years.

They served from to and were reclassed as AOTs in the late s. The second Cimarron -class was a class of five fleet oilers that were commissioned in the early s to replace older oilers constructed during World War II.

Due to budget restrictions, these ships were constructed smaller than was actually needed, requiring them to be "jumboized" in the late s and early s. However, to save expenses and in keeping with the Navy's move away from steam propulsion, these ships were decommissioned in the late s and replaced by the diesel-powered Henry J.

Kaiser -class oilers manned by the Military Sealift Command MSC. Potomac T-AO was a Maumee -class ship that suffered a catastrophic fire in which however left her after section and machinery largely undamaged; this portion was purchased by Keystone Tankships and mated to a new bow and midbody to create SS Shenandoah in She was the first ship equipped with an offshore petroleum discharge system OPDS , allowing her to supply fuel to forces ashore by pumping it directly over the beach instead of having to deliver it in a port.

All were later reclassed as AOTs. The Henry J. Kaiser replenishment oilers are a class of fleet replenishment oilers for which construction began in August This class is composed of eighteen underway replenishment oilers which are operated by the Military Sealift Command to provide underway replenishment of fuel to Navy combat ships and jet fuel for aircraft and helicopters aboard aircraft carriers and surface warships.

The Kaiser -class ships also have a limited capacity to supply ammunition, dry stores and refrigerated stores, although not as much as the AOEs and AORs; they do not have helicopter embarkation facilities.

A Kaiser -class oiler operating in tandem with a Lewis and Clark -class AKE is considered to be the equivalent of one Supply -class AOE.

Two of this class were canceled and laid up incomplete, and a third transferred to the Chilean navy. ACE Online.

Missions END.. Oops, sorry, not that kind of fuel. I don't know if this may be an issue with your specific version of SHIV, but fuel economy depends upon the type of sub you're using.

For example: right now, I'm in an S-Boat and get the best fuel economy at about 8. A Porpoise Class, if I remember correctly, is somewhere around 9.

Sailor Steve - Am reading Cruel Sea at bedtime. Worst case if you need to, go to your SH4 in My Documents. Open the Data Folder, Then open the CFG Folder, Then open the GameplaySettings. cfg file.
