The vessels carry fuel, dry cargo, water, food, ammunition, equipment and spare parts in operational support for the deployed naval or combat forces operating far from the port on the high seas. In addition to replenishment, the ships can be used to combat against environmental pollution at sea, provide logistics support for the armed forces, and to support humanitarian operations and relief operations following a natural disaster. The auxiliary commercial vessels include maritime aviation and navigation training vessels, a border force protection cutter, as well as submarine search and rescue capabilities.

You will also have highly developed written communication skills. You will be someone who genuinely fosters a curiosity for innovative possibilities and an enthusiasm to learn and drive change in order to gain efficiencies.
