New 50,000 tonnes Replenishment Vessel

[cirr]

You have a problem with Chinese source guessing it's 50.000 while the English source estimates 40.000-45000 when no details has been officially published?

Why waste time with someone whose sole purpose of being here is to pick up China？

Now looking forward to the timely launch of the 2nd ship。

True, only the desperate ones come here to show how tough they are when their own country are nothing compared to the mighty dragon's rapid expansion. We will watch in awe and they in utter despair.

Its good that he gets banned. He can continue to cry about China progress.

This replenishment ship is modern and beautiful looking.

She can compete with the Royal Navy new design replenishment ship look.

title said 50,000 ton that never shown in the content which estimate 40,000-45,000.

So 50,000 is between 40,000 and 45,000

makes no difference for Vietnam

Latest pics, 901 progress quite fast:

No issue with China or non-China, but I complained about the wrongful information.
Similar to make title about the first 10,000 ton destroyer, but the content is about 7500-8000 ton destroyer and not a single word about 10,000 ton.

You keep refering to a different source than linked in the OP where the 50.000 tons in the title of the OP come from. Thats you just being a stupid insecure troll on damage control, an ignorant because you just dismiss the Chinese source simply because it states a higher number or you just being unable to read the source and listen to what others already told you, not wrongful information.

You could just shut up if you have nothing of value to say.

You must know what the proper language for this forum is.
The guy created a thread, post a link purely in Chinese which is improper language for others in this forum to understand, and in his own post #7 in English, he didn't intend to correct the number 40,000-45,000.

The English source has more detailed information, while #1 post is just about what a netizen saw.

In other posts, he express no one know for sure the displacement, both link in Chinese and post #7

Thats a huge replishniment ship China is building there, even if its 40,000 - 45000tons its still huge. Congrats.

Ours is barely 40,000tons. Anyway have you giy any specs and date it will be launched/operational?

Your's Fort Victoria Class is 38,000 metric tons fully loaded

Most replenishment ship are between 30,000-55,000 ton. US have 2 different set of replenishment oiler, 1 is a fast combat support ship (Supply class) which is 50,000 tons, another is Henry J Kaiser class replenishment oiler which is somewhere between 40000-42000 tons

It is not at all new for oil replenishment ship to go over 45,000 tons but it have a trend to start scaling back, US just retired the Sacramento Class which goes up to 55,000 tons.

Fort Victoria

USNS Supply

USS Sacramento

USNS H J Kaiser

My guess is, the Chinese replenishment ship is the same size and tonnage to USNS Supply. Which display 42,000 tons judging from the surface infrastructure

Some were converted into oil tanker, the rest are breaking up and recycle..........

Apparently no specs for 901 are available from official sources, I tried but no results yet, so all are unofficial estimates so far. Either way it is new and big, and likely supplied by Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI; a listco 600685.sh).

I checked a consortium (between BMT Defence Services of UK and Daewoo of SK) was building four 37,000-tonne Military Afloat Reach and Sustainability (MARS) tankers for RN is that right? I do look forward to see GSI being a listco can participate in future RN procurement, jointly with UK-based vendors if applicable.

Beside replenishment vessels, US has large network of oversea ports accept their ships.
Even Cam Ranh harbour ever received several US ships for repairing, maintenance, ...

(VOV) - TheUSNA Alan Shepard(T-AKE4) docked at Cam Ranh Bay on November 20 and is scheduled to remain at the Cam Ranh Shipyard for maintenance until November 26.

The 41,000 tonne logistic ship, grouped under the US Fleet in the Asia-Pacific region, is 210m long and more than 30m wide.

Thanks to its naturally appropriate conditions and geographic position, six US logistic ships have been repaired at Cam Ranh Shipyard since 2010.
