K -grub NH - -' I 1, -.. -W Q-- 4 ' 'T r N V V V REPLENISHMENT AT SEA The mission of the USS CALOOSAHA TCHEE is to provide the Atlantic and Sixth F leets with un- derway replenishment capabilities, minimizing the Navyis need for dependence upon overseas bases - bases which might be denied in time for war, international tensions or changing political climates. The underway replenishment procedures are many and varied. However, two basic methods of underway replenishment have evolved and are in standard use within our fleets - alongside and vertical. Alongside replenishment demands the finest skill in ship handling and control, as ships displacing tens of thousands of tons steam alongside one another, often less than 100 feet apart. In this evolution, Navy Special Fuel Oil QNSFOD, Navy Distillate, and Diesel fuel for ships propulsion machinery, JP-5 jet fuel or avgas for carrier aircraft and other petroleum products are transferred between the CALOOSAHA TCHEE and customer ships. As ship and aircraft engines need fuels to run, the personnel manning them need food to sur- vive. The CALOOSAHA TCHEE supply customer ships with frozen, chill and dry provisions, enough to sus- tain an entire ship indefinately. And finally, the necessary munitions to give teeth to our combatant forces at sea, the bombs, projectiles, rockets, torpedoes and missiles required for war readiness. The CALOOSAHA TCHEE carrys up to 2,400 tons of munitions, ready to rearm our combatant ships whenever the need arises. The other method of re-supply at sea, one which has evolved in recent years, is called vertical replenish- ment. The advantages of this method are apparent to the experienced Navyman. By using helicopters,vir- tually all commodities other than bulk petroleum products can be readily transferred between widely dispers- ed ships, reducing restrictive and vulnerable alongside time. Both alongside and vertical replenishments are conducted simultaneously, providing the fastest, most efficient re-supply of our operating forces at sea. ' l Y, ww,-,,,,-A , i ,M
