Unrep ft Underway replenishment enables the Navy to meet its global committments by operating for prolonged periods far from friendly shores. Underway replenishment has only become common in the last two decades. A precise and dangerous evolution, UNREP requires the complete coordination of deck, navigational, communications, and engineering personnel. With two ships steaming close abord, separated only by a narrow channel of water, connected by tensioned cables, there is little margin for error. Advanced equipment permits rapid, efficient refueling and cargo transfer, but teamwork and training make it happen. The typical evolution commences as the customer ship follows about a thousand yards astern. The get-ready instruction is the Romeo flag at the dip. The go-ahead is initiated by closing it up. The customer ship then moves alongside. As the first shot line is passed, Romeo is hauled down simultaneously by both ships. With the messenger in place, the principal connections for UNREP may then be rigged. DETROIT ' S J Division maintains the electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic equipment that is featured with the Standard Tensioned Replenishment Alongside Method. Eight port and five starboard stations are available, any six of which may be manned concurrently with the stationing of a flight crew on the helicopter platform. With a carrier alongside, four fuel stations can send a total of 16,000 gallons of Diesel or JP-5 fuel per minute from pumping rooms aft and forward. Top left: USS AMERICA makes her approach to port.
