Hrm- about "We don't have an article called 'Ship's tender'" - maybe that should be changed? But onto what brought me here- the "AS" and "AD" designations in this article, supposedly for destroyers and submarines, respectively- that sounds backwards, aounterintuitive. Somebody wanna research that?

Second image lifeboat tender: Lifeboat tender of the Oosterdam; note the "face mask" over the front windows, and the rolled-up tarp that can be brought down over the entry port to make the boat watertight.

What is "face mask" - is this the "metal grill" - I don't know if the term 'face mask' is a nautical one. If not I'd suggest the commonly used term 'metal grill'.Sf5xeplus (talk) 11:31, 2 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Consider the long life of HMS Bramble (1822), used as a ship's tender in its naval career. Some description of the sailing ship tenders would be good to have.--DThomsen8 (talk) 02:31, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Two Types of Tenders edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article is discussing two wildly varying types of vessels as if they were the same thing.

A "ship's tender" is specifically a small boat or ship used to support a larger vessel, generally as a means of getting between the larger vessel and a port where that vessel cannot dock. The introduction section of the article fits most of this meaning, referencing the use of lifeboats as ship's tenders for cruise ships.

A "naval tender" is a large logistics vessel used to provide at-sea logistics support to smaller vessels. Other than the fact that it is a support vessels, it operates in a completely opposite manner. From the perspective of "mothership" classification, a naval tender would be more appropriately considered to be the mothership for the smaller destroyers, patrol boats, or submarines that it is supporting.

The "Types of Tenders" section includes two types of ship's tenders (yacht tender and mail tender) but does not include passenger tenders that are discussed in this article, although the Ship's boat article also covers this function. The other types of ships are support vessels that could be classified erstwhile as "naval tenders" that do not have the role of transporting people or goods between shore and larger ships, as focused on in the introduction section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.101.20.39 (talk) 17:02, 23 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
