A plan to convert two Callosus class scout cruisers to blimp tenders was once considered. The ships length and speed made them ideal for conversions under the CT rules as they would require minimum modifications to their speed.

Once the Blimp Tenders Uprising and Upsurge complete and undergo extensive trials it was expected that two Callosus class would convert.
The plan was droped in favour of purpose built ships before all further blimp tender designs were abandoned.

Sub Tenders

Alaunia, Artifex and Ausonia
These three ships have tended to the D1/9 class fleet subs and various R class subs since their construction in 1916. Alaunia originally tended to the D1/9 class subs and later the newer R-74 class subs. Ammunition, torpedo and fuel load out vary depending on the class of subs they tend to. The extra bunkerage for submarines is not usually used for full refueling as fuel capacity is not great so these tenders are usually accompanied by a small tanker. These ships have a hoist position on the bow used to lift subs partially out of water resulting in the use of a clipper bow and a sturdy bow sprit. These lifts now see little use given the increasing size of even coastal type subs.

Destroyer Tenders

Elasippos and Diaprepes
These ships were built to tend to the newer A through G and Admiralty class destroyers. They can carry enough stores to completely supply two destroyer squadrons (8 ships) but given the state of Atlantean port supplies post war they usually only carried half their capacity of ammo supplies and as a result could tender more than intended at full capacity.
