#REDIRECT Fast combat support ship
The fast combat support ship (AOE) is the United States Navy's largest combat logistics ship, designed as oiler, ammunition and supply ship. The AOE has the speed and armament to keep up with the carrier battle groups. It rapidly replenishes Navy task forces and can carry more than 177,000 barrels of oil (28,000 m³), 2,150 tons of ammunition, 500 tons of dry stores and 250 tons of refrigerated stores. It receives petroleum products, ammunition and stores from shuttle ships and redistributes these items simultaneously to carrier battle group ships. This reduces the vulnerability of serviced ships by reducing alongside time. Congress appropriated the funds for the lead ship of the AOE 6 (''Supply'' class) in 1987. === General characteristics, ''Supply'' class === *Builders: National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, San Diego, California. *Power Plant: four General Electric LM2500 gas turbines; two shafts; 105,000 hp (78 MW) *Length: 754 ft (229.9 m) *Beam: 107 ft (32.6 m) *Displacement: 48,800 tons full load *Speed: 25 knots (46 km/h) *Aircraft: Three CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters *Ships: **USNS Supply (T-AOE-6), Naval Weapons Station Earle **USS Rainer, Naval Base Kitsap **USS Arctic, Naval Weapons Station Earle **USS Bridge, Naval Base Kitsap *Crew: 40 officers, 627 enlisted *Armament: NATO AIM-7 Sparrow missiles, two Phalanx close-in weapons systems, two 25mm machine guns *Date Deployed: February 26, 1994 — USS ''Supply'' (AOE 6) === General characteristics, ''Sacramento'' Class === *Builders: **AOE 1, 3, 4, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard **AOE 2, New York Shipbuilding Corporation *Unit Cost: $458-568 million *Power Plant: Four boilers, geared turbines, two shafts, 100,000 shaft horsepower (75 MW) *Length: 793 ft (237.9 m) *Beam: 107 ft (32.1 m) *Displacement: 53,000 tons full load *Speed: 26 knots (48 km/h) *Aircraft: Two CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters *Ships: **USS Sacramento (AOE-1), Bremerton, Washington **USS Camden (AOE-2), Naval Base Kitsap **USS Seattle (AOE-3), Naval Weapons Station Earle **USS Detroit (AOE-4), Naval Weapons Station Earle *Crew: 24 officers, 576 enlisted *Armament: NATO AIM-7 Sparrow missiles, two Phalanx close-in weapons systems. *Date Deployed: March 14, 1964 — USS ''Sacramento'' (AOE 1) Ship types
