,.. VERTREP I , ,. fi K i Z x I x 5 I Standing by for another lift Vertrep, or vertical replenishment, adds a third dimension to MIL- WAUKEE'S supply capabilities. Supported by Supply Department, these tandem rotored workhorses of the fleet expeditiously transfer a myriad variety of cargo, ranging from ammo and repair parts to fresh vegetables and soft drinks. Hovering above a rolling deck, hooking up pal- lets and depositing them gently upon the receiving ship's flight deck, ver- trep helicopters enable the support ship to simultaneously replenish four vessels or reduce the time alongside an aircraft carrier while engaged in a massive logistic operation. Vital to crew morale are the reliable mail services provided by the air detach- ment. In fact, sailors and marines can expect mail call almost as fre- quently while deployed as they would in home port. In addition, medical patients, emergency leave personnel and technical assistance representa- tives are never far from their desti- nations courtesy of the HC-6 teams.
