10.0 Auxiliaries

Russian Federation Navy employs a wide variety of auxiliary ships, such as tankers, colliers, ship tenders, seaplane tenders, and a floating crane.

Of the Fleet Oiler design below, RF Navy acquired 4 in 1924, 2 in 1925, and 2 in 1934, for a total of 8. Four Betelgeuse class oilers remain in service. These ships have a combined capacity to transport 102,000 tons of oil.

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 80.2 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 113.5 %
Waterplane Area: 10,628 Square feet or 987 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 149 %
