Fuelling operations were completed between March 8 and 15, and the effects are rather obvious. Protecteur successfully embarked a total of 13,600 cubic metres (13,600,000 litres) of F-76 and F-44 fuel. The most noticeable change was in the ship’s draught, which increased from 16 feet 4 inches before fuelling, to 31 feet after fuelling. Protecteur’s displacement also increased - more than doubling from 12,000 to 25,600 tonnes.
