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 ! 👍

Watched the series on the conversion of the Asterix. Davie did a great job, and for a relatively small Navy Canada does a helluva great job!

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

BTW Larry Linville was my hero when I was growing up. I just wish that Ferret face had worn the dress instead of Klinger.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
