	Ship's tender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A ship's tender, usually referred to as a tender, is a boat used to service a ship, generally by transporting people and/or supplies to and from shore or another ship.
		In such cases tenders provide the link from ship to shore, and may have a very busy schedule of back-and-forth trips while the ship is in port.
		Current lifeboat tender designs favor catamaran models, since they are less likely to roll in the calm to moderate conditions in which tenders are usually used.

	World Aircraft Carriers List: Sweden
		Although she could hoist and transport 2 seaplanes, it appears she was meant only as a base ship, not to operate aircraft at sea.
		This ship was originally planned as a small aircraft carrier, then redesigned as a larger seaplane cruiser, and finally modified to this design for economic reasons.
		She was widely employed as a training ship between the wars.

	Submarine Force Earns Top Safety Honors
		Emory S. Land was named the best in submarine repair because they consistently exemplified the phrase, “Safety First.” During 2003, the submarine tender achieved a 49 percent mishap reduction while the ship conducted 39 submarine and surface ship availabilities, 29 “flyaway” teams, and an extended deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
		While safety is paramount on every ship and submarine in the fleet, these submariners know that safety is not about winning awards, it’s about managing risk to avoid injuries and possible loss of life.
		NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) -- The submarine force earned top honors as three submarines and a submarine tender were recognized in the 2003 Chief of Naval Operations Afloat Safety Awards and 2004 Safety Excellence Awards, announced in August.
