USS MILW UKEE OR MED CRUISE '86 ,,f,f!,f ff ' ,gil 40 ww SI-IIP'S MISSION The mission of replenishment ships in the US Navy is to provide the fleet with underway replenishment capabilities, minimizing the Navy's dependence upon overseas bases - bases which might be denied in a time of war, international tensions, or changing political climates. The AOR is a multi-com modity vessel capable of providing customers with a wide range of products that includes: 7.2 million gallons of Navy Distillate Fuel QF-761, used to power all non-nuclear Navy ships, Jet Aircraft Fuel UP-52, a full range of High Usage Load List and Deckload items, dry and frozen provisions 1450 tonsj, and 600 tons ,of ammunition. In addition, with the ability to carry over 1000 measured tons of fleet freight on her cargo and main decks, the AOR has a vast capability to provide first-rate support to the fleet. Perhaps the most unique and valuable feature of the AOR is the ability to provide one-stop-shopping. By load adjusting with other single commodity Fleet Support ships fi.e., AE, AFS, AOD, immediately prior to the UNREP evolution, the AOR can literally resupply an entire Battle Group by itself. The AOR is capable of transferring over 750,000 gallons of fuel and 250 measured tons of material per hour. The ability to provide a wide range of material quickly frees the customer units of the Battle Group to return to their primary mission in a minimum amount of time - completeyre- supplied.
