    An aerial photograph captures a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) operation between two naval vessels underway on open blue ocean. A large auxiliary/supply ship with a flight deck loaded with cargo pallets and netting is connected to a receiving vessel via transfer lines, with a load suspended between them in the water. A white military helicopter is flying nearby, likely supporting the vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation.

    USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN 73)

    An AS-332 Super Puma helicopter, attached to USNS Charles Drew (T-AKE 10), transports supplies during a replenishment-at-sea evolution with Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) in the Philippine Sea, July 17, 2026. The George Washington Carrier Strike Group is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. George Washington is the U.S. Navy’s premiere forward-deployed aircraft carrier, a long-standing symbol of the United States’ commitment to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific, while operating alongside allies and partners across the U.S. Navy’s largest numbered fleet.

    Two U.S. Navy vessels are conducting an underway replenishment (UNREP) operation at sea, with transfer lines visible between the ships. An American flag is prominently displayed on the supply/replenishment ship in the center of the image. The ships are sailing in calm, deep blue open ocean under partly cloudy skies.
    A replenishment-at-sea (RAS) operation is underway between two U.S. Navy vessels in open ocean. Transfer lines and hoses are rigged between the ships as they sail in parallel formation. An American flag is prominently displayed on the receiving vessel, and personnel are visible along the deck.
    The image depicts a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) operation between two U.S. Navy vessels underway in open ocean. A large gray auxiliary/supply ship is positioned alongside a receiving vessel, with transfer lines and hoses visibly connected between them. An American flag is prominently displayed on the receiving vessel in the foreground.
    An aerial photograph shows a naval vessel at sea conducting a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) operation. The ship's flight deck is heavily loaded with palletized cargo, and a civilian helicopter (registration N597AC) is either landing or hovering on the helipad. Simultaneously, a connected replenishment line with a suspended cargo pallet is visible below the ship's stern, indicating a concurrent underway replenishment transfer.
    The image shows a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation being conducted at sea, viewed through a railing or hatch frame from an elevated position on a naval vessel. A white and blue helicopter is hovering over the flight deck of a ship, which is loaded with palletized cargo and supplies. The ship is underway, as evidenced by the visible wake in the blue ocean water.
    A large civilian helicopter with registration N597AC is landing or hovering on the flight deck of a naval vessel at sea. The deck is densely packed with cargo bundles secured in netting on all sides of the landing circle. The ship appears to be underway, with visible wake in the background.

    An aerial view of a large naval aircraft carrier deck at sea, actively conducting a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) or vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation. A white helicopter is landing or hovering on the flight deck while crew members in green jerseys manage cargo and equipment. Multiple yellow forklifts and palletized supplies are distributed across the deck, with a fighter jet visible in the lower right corner.
    A military helicopter is hovering or landing on the flight deck of a naval vessel at sea. The image is captured from an elevated angle on the ship's deck, showing open ocean and partly cloudy skies in the background. Motion blur on the deck edges suggests a wide-angle or tilt-shift lens effect was used.
    An aerial/elevated view of two naval vessels conducting an underway replenishment (UNREP) operation at sea. A sailor wearing a yellow safety harness is visible on an elevated platform or mast structure between the two ships. The ships are traveling in parallel formation, with visible wake patterns in the deep blue ocean water.
