Now I know what your thinking, uwhat in the world do those two acronyms meann? Vertical Replenishment and Underway Replenishment is what they mean, and I can also tell you this. . . they were heard on a weekly basis during PRINCETON's West Pac '03, The Boatswains Mates are the backbone of these evolutions, and we did them moming, noon, and night. AVertRep is a method of getting supplies onboard, so that the crew can have fresh food, sodas, snacks, and other supplies. The evolution consists ofthe ship going to Flight Quarters, and the flight crew maneuvering a CH46 Sea Knight Helicopter over deck to drop off the supplies from a supply ship. Now an Unrep is a little more dangerous than a VertRep. An Unrep is how the ship gets refueled while out to sea. The PRINCETON comes alongside the refueling ship while both ships are separated l50ft apart moving at 13 knots. After heaving lines shot over to our ship from the refueling ship, a long hose with a probe attached is connected to our 'creceiver bella. Then the fuel can begin pumping Capproximately 4' .3 3 mga- X 150,000 gallons of Diesel Fuel Marine each timej. On West Pac 903 the PRINCETGN performed 22 Ve1tReps and 38 Unreps. E 74
