Passenger tenders remained based at their ports of registry, and when a ship came through the area, the tender would tie up with the ship and embark passengers on an elevated walkway. These vessels were larger, had a greater passenger capacity, and a broader sense of individuality in their respective companies than the more modern tenders seen today. Because of their increased size, lifeboats and life preservers were commonplace on board these ships (with two lifeboats being typical for an average tender). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Warships_and_submarines">Warships and submarines</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ship%27s_tender&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Warships and submarines"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Before the technologies that allow submarines and destroyers to operate independently matured by the latter half of the 20th century (and significantly during the <a href="/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a>), they were heavily dependent upon tenders to perform most maintenance and supply.
