Spent my time in the Navy on the bridge of non-nuclear carriers. We would often take fuel from tankers, but we also provided fuel to our escorts when necessary. the ship providing fuel holds a steady course and speed, and the ships receiving fuel simply follow to stay on station. It's a very precise maneuver for the bridge crews on both ships, and in particular for the helmsman. You really get to the point where you can feel the ship wanting to drift, and can correct before it does. You give it a few degrees rudder against the drift, bring the rudder back, and if you're good, the gyro never moved.There is also a distance line between ships with marking and lights (for night time unrep), which gives the Conning Officer a visual on drift and speed. It's great stuff.
I've been on the bridge wing on both sending and receiving. I was conning officer on CF Adams in the Med in lifeguard station. The ship alongside the oiler was preparing for hiline personnel transfer. Standard procedure is to send the chair over and back before the actual transfer. The chair was going over smoothly until the sending ship lost steering and did a 90 degree turn (fortunately away from the receiving ship). the chair went straight up and back down into the water. Needless to say the transfer was cancelled.
Did a "Westpac" on Connie, in the 70's... was NOT a coffee drinker, so the fresh milk re-supply was a Godsend ! (have NOT drank 'kool aid' since that cruise ! lol ) .Yes , the fresh fruit also helped make life a little more bearable as well... that ...rarely, if ever, gets mentioned on these vids. I was an "Airdale"... so it was our turn to watch others work their butts off, for a change ... & they DID, during these vital transfers. THIS is one of those events in life that has changed little, if any, from the decades ago, when I experienced it. Thanks for your service sailors ! 👍
Polyethyleneglykol This brings back so many memories. My entire Navy career was on a Supply ship . Exciting days they were . Happy Holidays to you ( I just subscribed to your channel to show support- you are so invited to my channel as well).
Nothing beats the feeling of a merchant marine vessel coming up your port side with heavy metal blasting through speakers in the dark of night. Then they would shoot off flairs as the Thunderous Rips of whatever song they played (mostly Metallica at the time) started and you could see everyone light up their MK1s and we would follow suit. FFG-61 Ingraham was my ship. Good times
I was on 4 oilers during my navy career uss caloosachee,uss Detroit,uss Kalamazoo and uss Arctic as a storekeeper and help out alot during these replenishment good times and alot of work
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful. I was on the Caloosahatchee from 1981 to 1985. It was a WWII Oiler that felt like a WWI Oiler. I was never able to masturbate more than once a day on that dirty old POS. If I had been stationed on this masterpiece, I probably could have gotten off 2 or 3 times a day. BTW Larry Linville was my hero when I was growing up. I just wish that Ferret face had worn the dress instead of Klinger.
I have seen this up close, many times. Very impressive to witness. While serving onboard USS Saratoga, we had a slight collision with an oiler. The call came over the loudspeaker "Brace for impact", then it felt like an earthquake for a few seconds. No real damage to either ship.
Sure a far cry from the unreps on the minesweeper I was on. No automatic tensioners, no plug in fuel rigs, all handed manila lines at 80 feet between ships. A requirement every 3 days during Market Time Operations off Vietnam in 1968.
Been there done that. I see a lot of line handlers on that refueling station wearing gloves. When we did it wearing gloves was a big no no because, believe it or not, it was a safety hazard. Get a line caught up while wearing gloves and a person would either lose a hand or get pulled over the side before you could get the gloves off. Emergency breakaways were pretty cool but sucked for the crews on the oiler because when they slacked the span wire, we pretty much tripped the pelican hook and threw their rig into the water.
My Grandad, the third engineer, on oil tankers, regaled me with his accounts of at-sea refuelling during WW2. It was all in black and white then, obviously. Nice to see it in colour at last.
DECK DAWGS!! BM2 here. The best times even when the conditions were miserable (which seemed to be often.. haha) Spent 8 years in the Gator Navy on the USS Austin LPD4 (92-96) and USS Portland LSD37 (96-99) before being medically retired. I can't even remember how many UNREPS we did over those 8 years and I still have scars on my hands from handling lines. Gloves were a HUGE NO NO back in the day.. Loved the Video.. God Bless our troops EVERYWHERE.. BOATS OUT...
Wait, that other ship is a Chilean frigate? The one on the portside is an Indian Navy Shivalik Class frigate. Makes me wonder where this refueling occurred. Most likely it was RIMPAC.
From 1970 to 1983 I refueled on a LPH-12,DD-863,FF-1075 and a DD-944. I was a MM.Stood UNREP IN Aftersteering on two and engine room on two.Luckily,we never had any problems during unrep…
@@Derekrmtl - looks like multipurpose supply vessel. Probably fit for rescue operations. Not bad engeneering resolve! Think that fuel delivery pressure in not less than 150 kg/cm². Once worked with hydraulic hoses fitted similar steel bandages (hoses clamps) with 2 pair of screw bolts.
That ship on the portside is an Indian Navy Shivalik class frigate. I like its design, but I like the design of its follow on class: Nilgiri class, even more.
The emergency decoupling drill was pretty cool. Fun fact there's a Gunner's Mate at every refueling sponson with an explosive wire cutters in case of emergency.
This is the first time I've watched this whole process. Throughout, I imagined this would have been familiar to my grandfather. He commanded USS Passumpsic (AO-107) in the Pacific during the Korean war era.
I was on an AOR-6 USS Kalamazoo an Ammunition Oil Replenishment ship in the late 70's an early 80's I worked on the Jet Fuel Rig it would be an 8 hour along side replenishment great fun lots of crazy unecessary dangers but constant training and safety paid off no one hurt very much at least.
I was on a Frigate (formerly Destroyer Escort) in the late 1970's. When working up for deployment the ship was out on five to twelve day exercises with a week in between for six months. At least every other night we did a refuelling unrep. Not so much that we needed fuel but practice, practice, practice to make it second nature.
Pretty cruel throughout the whole video but also at 8:40 you know these billion-dollar warships and all our technology and what do you see there in used is a old door wooden block and tackle I mean it's pretty cool
На 22 секунде слышен хлопок. Это специальное устройство которое выстреливает бросательный конец. Видно как его ловят матросы. Затем уже с помощью него вытаскиваются швартовые тросы.
У нас такое устройство называлось "линемёт". Не было лески однажды, сняли с линемета шнур, чтобы половить треску на одной из банок. Поймали даже одного краба. Но краба - отпустили в море. Потом стало больше рыбы попадать (не шутка).
The US Navy and USAF refuel underway or inflight, If the US Space Force (USSF?) ever gets vehicles that maneuver and not just orbit they'll have to figure out underway refuelling in zero gravity. That should be interesting.
a lot of things are to be considered but usualy if everything goes well it can takes 4-5 hours, but i've been on a warship where it took us 10h, bad sea state or technical issues can make it a real pain.
Two or three ships in close proximity bobbing around in the ocean with no directional control would probably be more dangerous than remaining in motion.

Why they didnt stop to refueling the ship? Whats the reason? I think its easier when the engine is stop
If stopped, neither vessel would have helm control, so there would be no control of position relative to one-another.
