The ships would all be prepared for one of the first Portuguese Missions towards the Atlantic Ocean, with one of the focuses being power projection. This was to be a long duration missions, as such, all ships would have provisions to last comfortably one month. Their main area operations would be around the Atlantic Ocean, as such it was deemed unnecessary for a replenishment ship to follow the fleet as they could easily return to a naval base to restock and refuel. More specifically, their area of operations would involve patrolling the following squares: IN, IM, IL, IK, HK, HL, HM, and HN. The mission however could be extended further into the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans in the near future.
