AOE (Fast Combat Support Ship)

AOE stands for "Fast Combat Support Ship," which is a type of naval vessel designed to efficiently supply other ships with fuel, ammunition, food, and other essentials during operations. Its "fast" designation indicates it can keep pace with high-speed combat fleets. These ships act as mobile logistics hubs, enabling a navy to stay operational over extended distances without returning to port. By providing timely resupply, an AOE enhances overall fleet endurance and flexibility, allowing military vessels to focus on their primary combat roles while remaining well-supported at sea.
