High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A replenishment oiler or fleet tanker is a naval auxiliary ship with fuel tanks and dry cargo holds, which can replenish other ships while underway in the high seas. Such ships are used by several countries around the world. The US Navy hull classification symbol for this type of ship was AOR before the classification was discontinued. The lead ship in the class was the Wichita. In the Soviet/Russian Navy it has been the Boris Chilikin type, and in the Canadian Navy , the Protecteur class. AORs are slower and carry fewer dry stores than Fast Combat Support Ship (AOE) ships (lead ship USS Sacramento). The word Replenishment is now included in the hull identification of the Fleet Replenishment Oiler - AO.
