Type 901 fast combat support ship

The Type 901 (NATO reporting name: Fuyu-class, also known as Hulunhu-class) is a class of fast combat support ship of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.

Design
The Type 901 is estimated to have a 45,000 ton displacement and a beam of 31.5 metres. The ship is powered by four QC280 gas turbines, each delivering 28 MW, for maximum speed of about 25 kt; the speed is necessary to keep up with carriers. The Type 901 is more than twice the size of the preceding Type 903A and significantly faster.

The Type 901 appears to be designed with similar missions to the Supply-class fast combat support ship which is to keep large surface action groups supplied.
