US Navy, Replenishment at Sea (RAS)

Fuel and supplies transferred between the USS Bonhomme Richard and the USS Tippecanoe. An SH-60 is overloaded by too many pallets at first, however, another load is hooked up and the VERTREP (Vertical Replenishmet) continues while the UNREP (Underway Replenishment) also continues.
