The Type 26 also has similar mechanism. It can carry 24 CAMM missile canisters along with the full length 24 CAMM VLS. The missiles are stored in the hold. Reason why the replenisher don't carry it is because replenishers also carry fuel, so carry such equipment in the hold in Sea State 5 or more can result in
.
Also such equipment can be used more easily if the missiles are stored with the ship. Other wise, go to port under escort, load ships and go back.
See Just 24 CAMM VLS ( smaller vls) but there 24 more CAMMs stored internally.

CAMM is 99 kilograms (218 lb) in weight, 3.2 metres (10 ft) in length,

The CAMM mini-silos on Type 26 are as follows:
- four separate rows each with six cells, for a total of 24 missiles forward of the bridge
- 24 more cells are located, in two rows of twelve each, in the main funnel mast.
Four CAMM fit in the space occupied by a single VL Seawolf

UK Armed Forces Commentary: Type 26 changes again
I would think a destroyer also carries fuel, for their GTu's and diesels, as well as for any aviation assets. Replenishment ships not only carry fuel but also food, water and ... ordnance.
AOEs (Auxiliary Oiler Replenisher) are also referred to as “station ships.” They offer a form of one-stop shopping by carrying dry stores (food, consumables, spare parts), ammunition (bombs, missiles) and fuel (oil, jet fuel), and are able to transfer them all simultaneously. Often, shuttle ships simply resupply the AOE station ship.
T-AKE multi-product fleet replenishment ships or 'dry cargo ships' provide logistics lift to station ships and other ships operating with naval forces from supply sources such as friendly ports, and at sea from merchant vessels. In other words, their primary mission is to provide a steady stream of ammunition, spare parts and provisions (dry, refrigerated and frozen) to naval forces at sea in their role as a shuttle ship.
US Navy on the T-AKE As It Beefs Up Supply Ship Capacity
T-AFS are combat stores ships. T-AE are dedicated ammunition ships. T-AO are dedicated replenishment oilers. In USN service, the T-AKE in replaces these three types.
The two ship Deepak class are T-AO (fleet tanker) The Deepak-class tanker can carry 17,900 tonnes of cargo, including 15,500 tonnes of liquid cargo (water, ship and aircraft fuel) and 500 tonnes of solid cargo (victuals and ammunition). The modern cargo handling facility on board the ship enables transfer of heavy solid cargo via a 30 tonne capacity deck crane, and simultaneous fueling of multiple ships at sea at the rate of 1,500 tonnes per hour. Workshop facilities on the ship can support other ships of the fleet and it is capable of supporting heavy helicopters
IN Jyoti is a T-AO. The ship can carry 28,000 tons at full load, consisting of fuel diesel, aviation fuels, oils, and water of different grades. The fresh water carried for use in steam turbines is of much higher grade than drinking water. It has two replenishment positions on each side, with the option of stern refueling and can replenish three ships simultaneously. It can refuel at the rate of 300 tonnes per hour.
INS Aditya is a replenishment and repair ship best label AOR or AOE. It has a multipurpose workshop and with four RAS (Replenishment At Sea) stations alongside. The ship has a cargo capacity of 2250 m³ water, 2170 m³ ammunition and stores and 14,200 m³ diesel and aviation kerosene. The ship can carry 12,000 tons of liquid cargo, comprising LSHSD, FFO, aviation kerosene, distilled & fresh water and 5000 tons of solid cargo. The ship features a Hallapa deck and Canadian Hepburn RAS (Replenishment At Sea) equipment, a 2 ton heavy jackstay and a 20 ton crane. It can replenish four warships simultaneously and was designed to be able to serve as command and control platform. It can refuel at the rate of 300 tonnes per hour
And this is how you transfer missiles at sea (note that no cranes are involved)
