While the Chinese navy is building warships like crazy, they have not neglected fleet support auxiliaries. If you postulate that their naval mission will be from the coast to the mid-Pacific, their need for unrep vessels would presumably be less than the USN's. Nevertheless, they have built nine replenishment oilers of a bit less than 24,000 tons each. They accommodate fuel oil, weapons and general stores and have but a single helicopter. Here is CNS Gaoyouhu (AOR-966) at Pearl Harbor.
