THE REP REPCDRT l'Now sToTion The underwoy replenishmenT deToil wos The cry heord mony Times during DALE'S ordous Trek. Since no ship con be expecTed To hold enough fuel or supplies To losT for o six monTh deploymenT, she musT be replenished oT regulor inTervols. The four moin Types of replenishmenTs ThdT DALE porTicipoTed in during her cruise were unrep, verTrep, logrep, ond conrep. An unrep is o sTondord oT-seo refueling, while o conrep involves The bringing on of sTores vid midships highline. For These evoluTions, DALE would monuever olongside The oiler, moTching course ond speed To The leTTer. ShoTlines ore hurled from The oiler, while DALE'S line hondlers houled over The fueling probe To be ploced in posiTion for fueling. The end resulT of This evolufion mode DALE 430,000 gollons of fuel richer. While This wos being done forword ond dfT, The mid- ships sToTion would hove o rig seT up To Tronsfer sTores usuolly porTs, food, or moil. Occossionolly on gli honds working porTy wos required To cleor The oreo ond be reody for The nexT lood. A verTrep sTonds for verTicol replenishment where- by supplies ore broughT in vio helo, usuolly o CH-A6 from The USS SAVANNAH, on ouxillory vessel. These double propped helos broughT polleTs oTToched To Their underbellies, flew over DALE'S fonToiI, ond seT The supplies on deck. A combinoTion of dll These elemenTs, losTing Qny- where from Twelve To TwenTy hours is o logrep, ond were done monThly To ensure ThoT DALE did noT run low of food sTores. IT wos long, hord work, buToTl9g31 The men in DALE did noT hove To worry obouT where Their nexT meol wos coming from. All They hod To do wos To look skyword. - X

I-IELO DETAILS During her deploymenT, DALE received viTdl logisTic supporT from helicopTers oTTdTched To USS AMERICA ond USS SAVANAH. These helos proughT us everyThing from oddly needed pdrTs To much dpprecidTed rndil. A helo deToil ronks ds one of The rnore GOOQGVOUS evoluTions in The FleeT. Since iTems dre lowered from The h l T T ' ' ' e o o he deck, The riggers rnusT consTdnTly be dwore ThoT someThing rnighT come crdshing down on Them. CornrnunicdTions from The ship To The helo ore viTol, oTherwise o crosh could occur. IT is DGCGUSG of This possibiliTy ThoT o speciolly Troined group of firefighTers dre dlwdys dT The reddy.
