The Provider is the UNDF primary transport class, it provides heavy lift capability to the UNDF fleet who before had to rely on civilian ships under contract. The Provider classis is based on the SUP (Standard Utility Platform) that forms the basis of the current generation of UNDF support craft. Some ships have been fitted with worm drive to become the
