Australian Navy's newest warship, NUSHIP Supply, recently completed Sea Acceptance Trials ahead of sailing from Ferrol to Australia later this month for her Australian fit-out. 

Navantia Australia is Prime for sustainment of Supply and sister ship, Stalwart.

There's something exciting about a new ship, and doesn't she look a picture?

The Royal Australian Navy's NUSHIP Supply, lead ship for the Supply class Auxiliary Oiler Replenishment (AOR) ships, performed Sea Acceptance Trials in Ferrol, Spain from 4-8 August 2020.

The ships are intended to carry fuel, dry cargo, water, food, ammunition, equipment and spare parts to provide operational support for the deployed naval or combat forces operating far from the port on the high seas for longer periods.

Can't wait until she arrives in Australia in the coming month.
