Design

Wu Yi was designed with assistance from the American Rosenblatt & son shipyard and was partially based on the Henry J. Kaiser-class replenishment oiler.[1] She is heavily armed for a fleet oiler, including a Sea Chaparral system.

History

The ship was launched in 1990.[2] Wu Yi has faced significant issues with her hull, machinery, and steering which has limited her ability to fulfill her mission of providing global support for naval task forces.[2]
