The Royal Australian Navy's new auxiliary oiler replenishment ship, NUSHIP Supply, has arrived at its homeport of Garden Island, Sydney.
It is one of two new auxiliary oiler replenishments that will provide combat and logistics support to the Royal Australian Navy's fleet.
Supply is the second ship to carry the name and the first Navy vessel to be equipped with the newest generation of Saab Australia's 9LV Combat Management System.
Commanding Officer NUSHIP Supply Captain Ben Hissink said the arrival of the ship in her homeport initiated the last stages of her journey to commissioning and represented an important milestone for the Navy and the crew.
"Supply is part of the largest regeneration of the Royal Australian Navy since World War II, as outlined in the Australian Government's Naval Shipbuilding Plan," Captain Hissink said.
