S ife The most recent developments in ammunition and missle transfer are incorporate in the BUTTE. The system, which uses a ram tention wire between ships, is called STREAM. Stream rigs will be utilized to transfer ammunition of all sorts to two ships alongside simultaneously, up to speeds of 20 knots. The hazards involved in such an evolution are readily apparent when it is realized that the ship on either side of BUTTE is often less than one hundred fifty feet from BUTTE during rearming operations. Vertical replenishment capabilities are provided by two CH-46 cargo helicopters which will take off with a load of ammunition, deposit it on a ship to be replenished, and return for yet another load, while the other helicopter may be replenishing yet another ship at the same time. Preparation and Coordination are a must and is often the job of many individuals working as a team. With a full load displacement of 19,000 tons, BUTTE has the SIZE, SPEED, and CAPABILITY to safely rearm four ships simultaneously, thus providing an urgently required contribution to the logistic support of the fleet. During operations in the Indian Ocean, BUTTE provided Task Group 70.9 with Ammunition. Freight. Aircraft Engines, and that one thing that made replenishment so worthwhile. Mail.
