    NORFOLK (NNS) – Military Sealift Command’s Combat Logistics Force fast combat support ship USNS Supply (T-AOE 6), the Navy’s largest CLF ship, returns to Naval Station Norfolk today from a three-month deployment in Sixth Fleet’s area of responsibility. Using at-sea replenishment methods, Supply served as a one-stop shop for fuel, ammunition, and other cargo for Navy warships and U.S. Naval partner nation ships from Canada, France, Portugal, Italy, and Germany.

    A naval replenishment-at-sea (RAS) operation is underway, with multiple warships sailing in close formation on open ocean. The foreground vessel's deck crew, wearing high-visibility vests and colored hard hats, are positioned along the rail preparing for or conducting the replenishment. A large auxiliary supply ship is visible in the center, flanked by what appears to be an amphibious assault or helicopter carrier vessel to the left.
    A naval formation of multiple warships is underway at sea under overcast skies. The image is taken from the bow of one vessel, showing a deck-mounted gun turret in the foreground with a unit insignia/emblem affixed to it. At least three additional vessels are visible in the background, suggesting a multi-ship naval exercise or transit operation.
