Livefist: Indian Navy For 5 More Fleet Tankers

The Indian Navy has announced interest in acquiring five new fleet support ships under the 'global buy'' category. The Navy has stipulated it requires ships with displacement of 40,000 tons in fully loaded condition, 200-metres long and a maximum beam of 25-metres. The Navy also requires its new ships to be capable of speeds "not less than 20 knots of maximum continuous speed, at ambient temperatures upto 40 deg C, in the fully laden condition upto Sea State 3 and while less than six months out of dock". With a projected complement of 190 sailors and 24 officers, the ship will need to handle one multi-role helicopter.

What you read is correct, around 27000 dry weight, 40000 full load.

If you read carefully you will get your answer:

2. Displacement of 40,000 tons.

No dry weight would be less since these tankers can carry 22500 tons of fuel,1000 tons of fresh water, 1400 tons of feed water ie nearly 25000 tons of fluid.

hiring tanker when need is more efficient as US and other countries do, keeping five big tankers waste more fund;
China army signed hire agreements with one company for 8 military and civilian use ro-ro ships（36000tons per）for priority use rights；

We too have similar arrangements with merchant ships.

Yes, that is correct calculation..
