I forget where I saw it but someone was bemoaning the complete abscence of Naval Tenders, which the US Navy scrapped some time ago, as with nuclear engines, the carriers did not need refuelling,(?) This move had, apparently, not taken account of the fact that ships need more than just fuel and lubricants. So whereas, in the past, if a carrier on station needed some more supplies, a tender would come alongside and the goods would be offloaded by the tender into the carrier, now, when the carrier runs low on supplies, of almost anything, it has to go to a naval port to be resupplied.
