Description
The Rapid Combat Support Ship (AOE) is the Navy's largest combat supply ship. AOE has enough speed and defense system to ensure that she accompanies the aircraft carrier battle group to fight. It can quickly replenish the navy's battle group, and carry more than 177,000 barrels of fuel, 2150 tons of ammunition, 500 tons of dry cargo and 250 tons of frozen food. AOE can collect fuel, ammunition and cargo from passing ships and redistribute them to the aircraft carrier battle group. This reduces the weakness of supply ships that need to call at ports to replenish their cargo. The Sacramento is regarded as the benchmark for shipbuilding on the West Coast. She and her sister ship are the largest ships ever built on the West Coast. Only Iowa-class battleships and aircraft carriers have greater tonnage than the Sacramento-class. The Sacramento entered service on March 15, 1964 and was retired in 2004.
