ESB Program
- As part of a recent government contract, the U.S. Navy added a third ship to be constructed and configured as an Expeditionary Sea Base (ESB).

- ESB engines weigh roughly 250,000 lbs. each.
T-AO Program

- These oilers have the capacity to carry 162,000 barrels of oil. The vessels measure 742-feet in length.
- T-AO engines weigh roughly 450,000 lbs. each.
