Ah VERTREP (VERTical REPlenishment) I remember doing that over 25 years ago. BTW, thats an HC-11 aircraft isn't it?

Back in the early 60's we would get the supplies on the Bow and we would unhook the sling by hand, standing in the stuff they just set down so we could reach the hook hopping the ship diden't go under a big wave or take a heave roll.GoNavy,Go!
