As a result of this trial the oiler "Burma", which was launched in 1911, was the first oiler to be constructed to the order of the Admiralty and was designed for supplying destroyers with oil at sea as well as from alongside when in harbour. In August and September 1911 the "Burma" carried out refueling at sea trials at Portland with the destroyers , when 117 tons were transferred, with , when 270 tons were transferred, and with , when 105 tons were transferred. Astern refuelling was again employed, this time utilizing a hose which ran on wooden rollers suspended in stirrups from a jackstay. A later improvement was the use of a buoyant rubber hose, which trailed in the sea between the two ships. Despite proving the concept viable, the C-in-C Home Fleet reported that "the use of tanker vessels for oiling destroyers at sea was unlikely to be of service and that further trials were unnecessary". As a result, the Royal Navy preferred to continue to use fuelling alongside in harbour, rather than at sea until WWII.
