	Lunar Base Studies - 1993: LUNOX
		Two "Tankers" transport the liquid oxygen from the LUNOX factory to other users on the lunar surface (the annual production capability is 24,000kg, assuming an extraction efficiency of 4% after benefication).
		All rovers use regenerable power sources which are recharged from the nuclear reactor surface power supply.
		Normally, the rovers obtain their power from the LUNOX reactor which is connected to the node.

		The seven Leaf and Rover class tankers provide logistic support to Royal Navy vessels at sea, under current plans their decommissioning dates are as follows: Grey Rover (2006), Gold Rover (2009), Black Rover (2010), Brambleleaf (2009), Orangeleaf (2009), Oakleaf (2010) and Bayleaf (2010).
		In March 2005, the government stated that it was not planning to lease or purchase new tankers prior to the arrival of the MARS capability, but an extension of the service existing ships was under consideration.
		Affordability and construction times are major considerations, the MARS tanker design will be simpler than the Wave-class fast fleet tankers delivered by BAE Systems in 2002-3, and it is expected to be derived from a baseline of commercial tanker designs and adapting existing technology for naval purposes.

	Time bomb in ocean -- oil tanker breaks up / Spill slowly reaching Spain's shores; rest of load also poses serious ...

		Several tanker stocks pay dividends with yields ranging from 4 to 10 percent.
		For me, tanker stocks paying dividends equating to at least 4 percent yields have the most appeal.
		However, after researching them, I found that for all three, the numbers were skewed by unusually large recent dividends caused by an acute shortage of tankers last year that is unlikely to be repeated.

	Operation "Earnest Will"
		In the so-called "tanker war", both belligerents launched attacks on neutral merchant vessels transiting the Gulf, prompting several Gulf states to seek protection from foreign navies.
		Iran retaliated by attacking first a Kuwaiti oil tanker near Bahrain on May 13 and then a Saudi tanker in Saudi waters five days later, making it clear that if Iraq continued to interfere with Iran's shipping, no Gulf state would be safe.
		Four of the tanker's 31 compartments flooded and the convoy was forced to slow to about five knots, but otherwise the ship was unhindered.

		Ships need to be bought to give a capability, and the system of classes has worked for hundreds of years, and frankly, there is no reason to change - it is efficient, it allows for standardisation, and is cheaper than buying a number of slightly different designs.
		The Navy buys a class, which is a baseline hull, then the batches are built to an evolving standard, and if the money is forthcoming, then earlier batches are then upgraded.
		The later Fort class will be able to serve the CVF using a governmental waiver, but this is a stop-gap measure, like the Argus SLE.
