The sea trials are set to last three days and and two nights. The vessel set sails with 135 sailors onboard including shipyard and RAN personnel.

The vessel is based on the BAC ‘Cantabria’ (A15) replenishment oiler design of the Spanish Navy. The future HMAS Supply was launched at the Navantia Shipyard in Ferrol, Spain on 24 November 2018.

NUSHIP Supply will be heading home to Australia at the end of August. HMAS Supply was set to enter service with the Royal Australian Navy this year.
