Supply Department storekeepers break out groceries and spare parts ordered by the receiving ship and readies them on the cargo deck for highline transfer. On the Bridge, a Quartermaster takes the helm and phone talkers link the Bridge with every part of the ship. When the Captain is satisfied that all stations are properly manned and ready he orders the Signal Bridge to hoist the Romeo flag close up, which signals the re- ceiving ship that she is now authorized to come along- side. The approach is closely watched as the 100 feet sepa- rating the ships allows little margin for error. Once the customer ship is in position shotlines or bolos are are passed by MANATEE ' s Gunners Mates and from the attached messenger lines, the rigs are drawn over. When rigging is completed on the other ship a signal is given, and valves are opened on MANATEE, and the three cargo pumps begin to deliver fuel at a rate of 1000 gallons per minute. Ji Mil

Meanwhile, the cargo rig has been passed to the other ship. Cargo and ammunition are delivered by Burton rig, where winches on both ships provide the power. For safety, personnel must be transferred by a manila highline manned entirely by the crews of the ships. On the smaller ships, even groceries and mail are transferred by this latter method. Mail is the most eagerly anticipated commodity, since for many ships oilers are the only postmen during an arduous 20-30 day period at sea. Ammunition is transferred to the gunfire support ships and retrograde, expended ammunition casings and carrying pallets, is passed to MANATEE for transit back to Subic and reuse. When all fuel and supplies have been transferred, the hoses, wires and lines are recovered aboard MANATEE and another satisfied customer steams from alongside. Before our crew can rest though, the rigs must be rea- died for the next replenishment.
