J 'n The rigors of life at sea are most evident in the challenging special evolutions which occur on a near- daily basis. Beyond simply the rou tine, crewmembers were required to support helicopter flight operations, underway replenish . r ments and small boat details. Despite the af dangers, these evolutions are essential to the ship in many a ways. At the heart of all special details are the personnel who man them and learn the critical skills necessary through hard work, persistance and dedication. 87

The expeditious trans- fer of fuel, stores, supplies, and even people make UN REP's an indispensable part of a carrier battle group's daily operations. 86 n addition to UNREP's for fuel, the movement of stores and supplies is critical to maintaining life at sea. CHANCELLORSVILLE con- ducted several vertical replen- ishments of food stores with CH- 46 helicopters from the USNS SAN JOSE to ensure maximum sustainability of the crew at sea. , J' ,,.,:5 -..-.r V .--ew ,, ,rn -:N 1- X ., ,.- .
