Pumping gas…. …..way out to sea…. …..on the far side of the planet from home….EAST CHINA SEA (November 7, 2020) – Cryptologic Technician (Technical) Seaman Jacob Fischer, USN, (top) and Fire Controlman 3rd Class Kyle Soriano, USN, heave a line aboard United States Navy guided-missile cruiser USS Shiloh (CG 67) during a replenishment-at-sea (UNREP) with Military Sealift Command dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Charles Drew (T-AKE 10).A complex evolution like a refueling/resupplying at sea requires an almost all-hands effort beyond just the deck crew. From necessary raw manpower, to stowing supplies below decks, to safety protocols….it takes a huge team effort. _____________________>>Top two photos:Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Ryre Arciaga, USNThe two ships involved here: USS Shiloh (CG 67)….needing fuel USNS Charles Drew (T-AKE 10)….the floating gas station -- source link
