There are a total of 2 Steadfast Class Combat Replenishment Ships currently in service with the RAN. They form part of the 15th Auxiliary Squadron and operate from both Fleet Base East (FBE) in New South Wales and Fleet Base West (FBW) in Western Australia.

Drawing notes: The original design was drawn by pootisp6 and posted on Deviantart. I really loved the design and decided to use it as the basis for my Steadfast Class vessels. I have credited pootisp6 in accordance with Shipbucket rules.
