Is this a fighting ship, or materials transport, or something else? Is it intended to go from A to B, or to go out and patrol around and come back? How far away does it go from its base?
Other articles have mentioned testing automated refueling systems for this vessel, which implies a longer term patrol role.
Other naval vessels of similar displacement seem to generally have a range around 1500-2500 nm.
(All guesswork I'm afraid!)
