Military Sealift Command Pacific (MSCPAC) fleet replenishment oiler USNS Henry J. Kaiser (T-AO 187) provided logistics services to the ships of the USS Makin Island amphibious readiness group (ARG) as they conducted routine, pre-deployment training operations in the Pacific area of operations.
Through a series of six replenishments-at-sea (RAS), Kaiser delivered nearly 700 thousand gallons of diesel ship fuel and over 74 thousand gallons JP5 aviation fuel.
MSC’s ability to replenish ships at-sea, benefits the Navy, by providing all the items needed to sustain the ships at sea, and allows them to stay in the area of operation longer, and without the need to come into port for supplies.
In addition to providing logistics services to the Makin Island ARG, Kaiser also supported other Navy ships in the area.
