Replenishment operations at sea

USS KITTY HAWK VERTREP and UNREP South Pacific circa 2004. To be fair, I have to correct some of my narration. I said in the video that the tanker was not a naval ship, what I meant to say is that it is not a naval WARship. It is an auxilliary.

Nope, packages from home get handled with the mail, they are delivered onboard regularly via the planes I mentioned in the video...COD's. That stands for Carrier Onboard Delivery. The mail gets handled a little more gingerly than standard cargo.

Do you guys get plenty of fresh fruit and veggies? I'm merely asking from a MOM perspective. I always taught my son to eat healthy. I hope they also are giving you all whole grain food choices.......afterall, eating right is a life long career.

There are always fresh vegetables and whole grains. The ship is required to have a complete balanced meal available three times a day. They are bombarded constantly with educational videos and documents on proper nutrition. We weigh them and check blood cholesterol regularly. If you've taught them good nutritional habits, I am sure he is doing fine!

Thanks for the explanation I'll have a Navigation exam covering this next monday!

LOL my son said they come by Helicopter, and they bounce them out and drop kick them. That is why cookies break up so badly! They also place any box listed containing chocolate on the heater, so it's nice and melted. This is all true!

Is this how packages from home are delivered?

[MomOfSailorOnUSSKH]

Thanks, yes and he is maintaining a healthy slim body. I'm very proud of him to be quite frank. Thanks for your information. I always hope he is eating well when he goes on cruises as well as back on land.
