Eye Candy for Sailors
Just some pictures from the first few days at sea until I can post something more substantive.
You can't start a road trip without "filling up" first.
USNS BRIDGE (T-AOE 10) fuels USS MOBILE BAY (CG 53) as we prepare to make our approach.

Hmmm. Looks like a fascinating procedure. It looks like the fuel probes are just sitting in mid-air... ;)

I've not seen it from that lofty perspective. I was NCOIC of the After Refueling Station during UnReps.
This part of the job doesn't look like it has changed since 1980.

I was a snipe. I remember doing that. We burned NSFO which was basically bunker oil that had to be heated to around 150 so it would atomize. Are you guys burning JP5 in those fancy turbines or?
Sir, What are odds of the readers being allowed to purchase a ship's hat from the store?
I dunno about the hat thing. Send me an e-mail (my address is on my profile page) and I'll ask our SUPPO.
Nice seeing UNREP pictures.
Enjoyed that because I'm the XO of a Brazilian fleet oiler and had the honor of working in US Navy as an instructor at Annapolis.
Congrats on this great blog!
