The USN plans to replace 15 legacy TAO-187-class navy fleet-replenishment oilers with 20 TAO-205, previously known as TAO(X)-class oilers, to provide fuel and cargo delivery to support fleet operations. The USN wants to procure a total of 20 ships. In addition, a TAO-205 oiler, in conjunction with a T-AKE 1-class ship, will operate as a ‘station ship’ accompanying and staying on station with a carrier strike group or amphibious readiness group to provide fuel as
required.
