HS ILISSOS
Crest
The crest depicts an Athenian trireme on the top left section of it and a cluster of a propeller, an anchor and a missile on the lower right section. The trireme is historically linked with the Battle of Salamis, not only because the Greek fleet consisted of ships of the specific type, but also because it took place in the sea region close to the Naval Base. The propeller, the anchor and the missile denote the contribution of the Naval Base to the seaworthiness and combat effectiveness of the Hellenic Warships.

History
The ship started being built in 1985 at Chalkida Shipyards. On June 1986 the shipyards interrupted ther operation and the ship became property of ETBA.After relevant procedures the Hellenic Navy took the ownership of the ship and assigns her completion with a new contract to the Avlida Shipyards from where she was received in 1991 with the mission of supplying water to Warships, Naval Services and arid islands. In 2021 the conversion of the ship from an Aquifer to an oil tanker was decided. The conversion of the ship to an oil tanker was performed at Salamis Naval Base from July 12 to December 16, 2021. On March 8, 2022 by decision of the Deputy Ministry of National Defence, the ship officially changed type and renamed from HS Stymfalia to HS ILISSOS with the mission of transporting fuel (fuel oil, JP-5, JP-8) for the benefit of Hellenic Navy and other branches of Hellenic Armed Forces.
