Wu Yi (Chinese: 武夷) is a fleet oiler and logistics ship of the Republic of China Navy (ROCN). She is the only ship of the Wu Yi class. She was the first ship of the ROCN to include accommodations for female officers.[1]
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.
Historyedit
