Labyak gets the attention of the refueling crew. ABO VE: Engineering and Deck saifors work as a team during refueling. RIGHT: Bos in Bill Normington gives instruc- tions to the refueling crew. Now set the replenishment detail, pipes the bos'n. All over the ship things begin to happen. The engineers have put the plant into an ex- tra condition of readiness. The most skilled watchstanders report to the engineering spaces and the Bridge. The Boat Deck is a beehive of activity with Deck Department personnel and line- handlers. The ship prepares to go alongside a logistics ship to receive fuel and provi- sions. The ship manuevers to just 500 yards behind the oiler. All station manned and ready. Engine ahead full. The GOMPERS glides alongside the Wabash with a scant 180 feet of ocean separating them. Replenishment at sea has commenced. ll' PH2 Rachel A. Lauler 25
