Submarine 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. Also due to their size they are only used for maintenance and repair and not replenishment or crew accommodations, functions reserved for other purpose built ships. 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.

Destroyer depot ships

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.

Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily

Notes: based on the Boa Vista design these ships have improved capabilities over the preveous class.
Ships in class: Anubis, Baal, Horus, Hathor, Isis, Osiris, Ra, Seth
Two more ships, Homerus and Epigenes laid down for Byzantium.
