Auxiliary Ship
An auxiliary ship is a naval ship designed to support combatant ships and other naval operations. Auxiliary ships are not primary combatant vessels, though they may have some limited combat capacity, usually for purposes of self-defense. Auxiliary ships are extremely important for navies of all sizes because if they were not present the primary fleet vessels would be unsupported. Thus, virtually every navy maintains an extensive fleet of auxiliary ships. However, the composition and size of these auxiliary fleets vary depending on the nature of each navy and its primary mission. Smaller coastal navies tend to have smaller auxiliary vessels focusing primarily on littoral and training support roles. Larger blue-water navies tend to have larger auxiliary fleets comprising longer-range fleet support vessels designed to provide support far beyond territorial waters. Roles Replenishment One of the most direct ways that auxiliary ships support the fleet is by providing under ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bacolod City-class Logistics Support Vessel
The ''Bacolod City'' class is a ship class of two Logistics Support Vessels currently in service of the Philippine Navy, commissioned during the early 1990s. These ships were based on a helicopter capable variant of the United States Army's ''General Frank S. Besson, Jr.'' class Logistics Support Vessel. History The two ''Bacolod City'' class ships were built by Halter/Moss Point Marine of Escatawpa, Mississippi in the United States. The first unit, was commissioned into Philippine Navy in December 1993, while sister ship was commissioned in April 1994. Both ships were purchased brand-new by the Philippine government through the Foreign Military Sales program of the United States. Since commissioning, both ships have been rigorously used in military and peacetime operations, and have participated in joint military exercises with foreign navies. Presently they are assigned with the Sealift Amphibious Force (formerly Service Force) of the Philippine Fleet.''Philippine Fleet Offi ...

General Frank S
A general officer is an officer of high rank in the armies, and in some nations' air forces, space forces, and marines or naval infantry. In some usages the term "general officer" refers to a rank above colonel."general, adj. and n.". OED Online. March 2021. Oxford University Press. https://www.oed.com/view/Entry/77489?rskey=dCKrg4&result=1 (accessed May 11, 2021) The term ''general'' is used in two ways: as the generic title for all grades of general officer and as a specific rank. It originates in the 16th century, as a shortening of ''captain general'', which rank was taken from Middle French ''capitaine général''. The adjective ''general'' had been affixed to officer designations since the late medieval period to indicate relative superiority or an extended jurisdiction. Today, the title of ''general'' is known in some countries as a four-star rank. However, different countries use different systems of stars or other insignia for senior ranks.

Multi-Role Support Vessel (India)
The procurement of Landing Platform Docks (LPD) by the Indian Navy, formerly known as the "Multi-Role Support Vessel Program" (MRSV) - is an initiative of the Indian Navy to procure a series of landing platform docks, specific vessels dedicated to amphibious warfare, as part of the service's strategy to augment its capabilities of amphibious warfare, disaster-response, humanitarian assistance and auxiliary duties. India had long sought to procure amphibious warfare vessels, including landing platform docks; multiple initiatives in procuring specified vessels of the aforementioned type were initiated as early as 2009. However, such measures have been frequently delayed, on account of varying reasons. The Indian Navy currently operates one landing platform dock - INS ''Jalashwa'', an ex- ''Austin''-class amphibious transport dock, which was purchased from the United States Navy (USN) in 2007.

Multi-role Support Ship (Malaysia)
Multi-Role Support Ship (MRSS) is a class of amphibious ship planned for the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN). Development Since the loss of KD Sri Inderapura after catching fire in 2009, RMN has an outstanding need for her replacement. In addition, the lack of the RMN's amphibious assets such as Landing Platform Dock and Landing Ship Tank makes this procurement programme very important to be fulfilled. Due to this matter, RMN has launched their Multi-Role Support Ship (MRSS) programme to procure this type of amphibious ship. This MRSS programme seen in line with RMN's fleet modernisation programme called ''15 to 5'' where RMN planned to reduce the class of their ship in order to reduce the maintenance cost and easier the logistic support of the fleet. This class of ships includes Scorpène-class submarine, Maharaja Lela-class frigate, Kedah-class offshore patrol vessel, Littoral Mission Ship (Keris-class littoral mission ship and Ada-class corvette) and Multi Role Support Ship (M ...

Diving Support Vessel
A diving support vessel is a ship that is used as a floating base for professional diving projects. Basic requirements are the ability to keep station accurately and reliably throughout a diving operation, often in close proximity to drilling or production platforms, for positioning to degrade slowly enough in deteriorating conditions to recover divers without excessive risk, and to carry the necessary support equipment for the mode of diving to be used. Recent offshore diving support vessels tend to be dynamically positioned (DP) and double as remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) support vessels, and also be capable of supporting seismic survey operations and cable-laying operations. DP makes a wider range of operations possible, but the platform presents some inherent hazards, particularly the thrusters, making launch and recovery by diving bell widespread. They may use a moonpool to shelter the position where the bell or ROV enters and exits the water, and the launch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
