navy submarine tender vessels 3d model - US Navy Submarine Tender... by artmaxwell

Submarines are small compared to most oceangoing vessels, and generally do not have the ability to carry large amounts of food, fuel, torpedoes, and other supplies, nor to carry a full array of maintenance equipment and personnel. The tender carries all these, and either meets up with the submarines at sea to replenish them or provides these services while docked at a port near the area where the submarines are operating. Tenders are also equipped with workshops for maintenance. Hull numbers are included for all ships of this class.
