Fleet Supply Ship:
Navy tankers with charging device for dry goods for the supply of surface forces in long-range and long-term ventures.


modified Fleet Supply Ship:
Navy tankers,subsequently converted, with charging device for dry goods for the supply of surface forces in long-range and long-term ventures


Fleettanker:
Requisitioned tankers for supply of naval forces at long range and short-term ventures, with operating supplies, ammunition and supplies. Repatriation of prisoners
