There is a clear requirement that we need two joint support ships and in the meantime we have the AOR interim. The requirement is there. They should be able to sustain and operate forward. If you cannot do that, then you have to rely on others, or you have to, just like when we went to the hurricanes. We had to stop en route before we did the humanitarian aid in the Caribbean because we didn't have integral resupply and refuelling.
