SNIP I was curious about this ship because of the old adage that a planning hull can't carry enough fuel to get out of sight. That is apparently true of this ship -- she can run at 48 knots alright, but will run out of fuel a that speed in less than five hours! REPLY: According to the Navy fact sheet, this ship has a range of 3,500 miles, though admittedly at 18 knots. Doesn't specify which set of engines she does that on, but presumably the diesel auxiliaries.
