Classification
[edit]Replenishment is a broad term. In the United States, Replenishment Oiler was used to identify the hull "AOR". these ships are no longer in use. The hull "AO" was previously identified as "Fleet Oiler" but is now identified as "Fleet Replenishment Oiler". Therefore this page should relate to the AOR and display it as no longer in use.

A fleet tanker is not a replenishment oiler. The balance of liquid and dry cargo is quite different. For example, RFA Fort Victoria with substantial dry cargo capacity is an AOR, whilst Wave class RFAs with minimal dry cargo capacity are AOs (i.e. Fleet Tankers in UK or Fleet Oilers in US parlance). Article edited accordingly.Anixtu (talk) 09:35, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
Article content
[edit]I just cleaned the article up a bit and dropped in a few wikilinks.
How about moving the bulk of the article to Wichita-class oiler (as linked from USS Milwaukee) ? The article is far to specific for its title. Then merging the rest of the article with the Oiler (ship) article, and converting this page to a redirect ?

What is the point of this article? It barely covers anything modern..? As a civilian mariner working on a T-AO class vessel, I find it rather barren. Hengineer (talk) 17:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Article comment
[edit]Moved from a <!-- --> comment in the article to here:
- Some of the text may be choppy. If you want to contact me, email goanna (at) shaw.ca. I'll be working on this on-and-off for a while. I was on the Zoo (AOR-6) so I know this design well.

Globalizing article
[edit]I've made an attempt at globalizing the article, but this article needs attention from a naval expert on the subject to fill out the article some more. I'm sure I've missed a lot of details. ThePointblank 09:36, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Proposed merge
[edit]It has been proposed that this article be merged with Underway replenishment. To discuss the issue, please visit the following page: Talk:Underway replenishment
- Oppose - ships and concept should have different articles. Ingolfson (talk) 05:08, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
What the article needs !!
[edit]a description of what the difference is from a Tanker to a replenishment Oiler. !! Describe the necessary additional equipment that is present on an replenishment oiler. Some specifics in it should be removed. Wfoj2 (talk) 11:36, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
- Agree; in fact currently "Oiler" redirects here, which is entirely misleading: an oiler and a replenishment oiler are not the same thing. Solicitr (talk) 00:02, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
[edit]Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:15, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
References and citations needed, please
[edit]Dear wikipedians, I couldn't find what part of the text was supported by each of the websites implicitly listed as references. Hence I moved these links to "External links" until someone who has used them in this article can add citations to those. Additionally, this article needs some verifiable sources (ideally bibliographical) and citations to them. Can anyone please help? Thanks & regards, DPdH (talk) 13:09, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
