NUSHIP Supply (A195), named after the Royal Navy ship HMS Supply, is the first ship of two Supply-class replenishment oilers used by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The class is based on the Spanish Cantabria and is intended to be able to supply three ships at once with fuel, water, food, ammunition and other supplies.[1][2] The contract to build the two auxiliary oiler replenishment ships was awarded to Navantia in 2016.[3]

 

The ship has the status of "NUSHIP" until it is commissioned into the navy, at which time it will become "HMAS" – Her Majesty's Australian Ship. It is under construction at Navantia's shipyard in Ferrol, Spain. It was launched in late November 2018.[1][4]

Supply will replace HMAS Success which was decommissioned in June 2019. Supply is expected to enter service in 2021.[5] The ship arrived in Australia in early October 2020
