This demonstration took place while the destroyer Spruance was tied to the pier at Naval Air Station North Island, as a first step in creating a more expeditionary rearming capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in the near future, that same evolution between a warship and an auxiliary vessel could take place in any harbor or protected waters around the globe. One day, it may even take place in the open ocean, thanks to research and development efforts in support of a top priority for the secretary of the Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlos Del Toro is eyeing this rearm-at-sea capability as one of a handful of steps the service must take to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/outlook\/2022\/12\/05\/us-navy-secretary-talks-drones-fleet-size-and-south-american-security\/\" target=\"_blank\">prepare for conflict in the Pacific<\/a>; other steps include strengthening logistics capabilities and identifying foreign shipyards that could conduct repairs to battle-damaged ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the Navy\u2019s cruisers and destroyers can only load and unload offices at established piers with approved infrastructure. For the Pacific fleet, these reload sites are in Japan, Guam, Hawaii and California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2021\/04\/12\/as-the-us-navy-scrambles-to-field-more-missiles-in-asia-a-tough-decision-looms-for-aging-cruisers\/\" target=\"_blank\">in a conflict with China<\/a> \u2014 the Pentagon\u2019s self-declared No. 1 geopolitical threat \u2014 these combatants could easily fire all their missiles in just one or two engagements, after which they would leave the fight to reload.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/naval\/2022\/03\/22\/us-navy-considers-alternatives-to-unmanned-boats-with-missiles\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ranger1.png.png?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US Navy considers alternatives to unmanned boats with missiles<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Navy wants to put more missile tubes out to sea by installing them on USVs. Congress isn&#039;t comfortable enough yet with the state of unmanned technology. There could be an alternate plan to make both sides happy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But piers in Japan and Guam could be destroyed, or the surrounding area could be contested enough that pierside ships would be too vulnerable. Sailing to Hawaii to reload would take vessels out of the fight for two weeks or more, with a trip to California costing at least three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Del Toro, this is unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calling a rearming-at-sea capability \u201cgame-changing,\u201d he told a New York audience late last year that \u201cbeing able to quickly rearm our warships\u2019 vertical launch tubes at sea will significantly increase forward, persistent combat power with the current force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A longstanding vulnerability<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Del Toro was 18 years into his career as a naval officer when he took command of the destroyer Bulkeley in 2001. By that time, the Navy had lost its ability to rearm destroyers at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service had such a capability with previous platforms, but as new ships and missiles entered the fleet and the Cold War came to an end, the service opted against devoting resources to developing a new rearming method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two decades later, when Del Toro was sworn in as Navy secretary, he immediately began tackling the naval service\u2019s logistics problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWithout question, logistics rises to the top in terms of priorities that are necessary \u2014 logistics in terms of the forward presence that we\u2019re going to need in the Indo-Pacific, to forward-deploy parts and supplies and troops and everything that we need, in addition to the capabilities that individual ships themselves will need in order to be able to rearm,\u201d he told Defense News on Feb. 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He put rearming ships at sea high on the list of logistics-related gaps the Navy must close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOver the course of decades, this is something we have actually studied, and now it\u2019s time to make the necessary investments so that we can rearm our cruisers or our destroyers or our future frigates \u2026 at sea, should we be called upon to fight a war,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maritime operations and naval logistics experts agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAssuming the battle goes on longer than a single missile load, you need to rotate shooters out to reload and return to the scene of battle,\u201d said James Holmes, a former surface warfare officer and the J. C. Wylie chair of maritime strategy at the Naval War College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf the fight is in the Taiwan Strait or South China Sea, far from the nearest port that can execute a reload, you are taking combatants off the firing line for a substantial time. We might make that work if we had a huge fleet and plenty of shooters to rotate in; but our fleet is lean in the extreme, in numerical terms,\u201d he added. \u201cWe need the most we can get out of every platform, and that means rearming close to the scene of combat and getting back into action quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1145\" height=\"694\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7428218.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-117580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7428218.jpg.jpg 1145w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7428218.jpg.jpg?resize=300,182 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7428218.jpg.jpg?resize=768,465 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7428218.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,621 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1145px) 100vw, 1145px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An SM-2 Block III missile is fired out of the forward vertical launching system aboard the destroyer John Finn on Sept. 17, 2022. (Lt. j.g. Jackson B. Miller\/U.S. Navy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tim Walton, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute\u2019s Center for Defense Concepts and Technology, who has written extensively on the topic of rearming at sea, said Del Toro is recognizing \u201cthe enormous opportunities of new VLS rearming capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, Walton wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/csbaonline.org\/research\/publications\/sustaining-the-fight-resilient-maritime-logistics-for-a-new-era\" target=\"_blank\">2019 study for the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments<\/a> that fielding just two or three ships that could rearm cruisers and destroyers in the Western or Central Pacific would, by getting the Navy\u2019s combatants back on station more quickly, add the equivalent of 18 more cruisers and destroyers in the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cViewed in this light, a fleet VLS rearming at sea capability could provide a \u2018value\u2019 in equivalent combatants of at least $11-37 billion, and would be a high-return investment for the Navy,\u201d Walton told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe U.S. Navy is increasingly focused on identifying low-cost, high-impact options that can quickly boost the operational effectiveness of the fleet and joint force,\u201d he added. \u201cThe swift introduction of a capability to rearm VLS at sea or at anchorage would have a major impact on operational effectiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mixed success in tech development<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rearming a ship today can only take place in select ports. The destroyer or cruiser is tied to a pier; a crane, support equipment and personnel are on the pier; and one by one they lift missile canisters from the pier, then slowly lower them into the launcher cells on the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step in making this evolution more expeditionary is to stage all the cranes, equipment and personnel on a support vessel instead of a pier. By doing this, a combatant could moor at any pier \u2014 no matter the infrastructure \u2014 and have the support vessel pull alongside to reload the missile cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another option would involve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2023\/02\/28\/us-philippine-marines-team-up-to-bolster-littoral-warfare-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\">anchoring in calm waters<\/a>: at a harbor, the leeward side of an island that\u2019s protected from winds and currents, or other bodies of water deep enough to allow the destroyer to enter but calm enough to keep the warship and the support vessel from rocking too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the ideal end state is a rearming capability in the open ocean. Navy ships today refuel and resupply at sea, sailing alongside a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2019\/12\/31\/the-us-military-ran-the-largest-stress-test-of-its-sealift-fleet-in-years-its-in-big-trouble\/\" target=\"_blank\">Military Sealift Command<\/a> auxiliary ship at about 12 knots to move goods and fuel. Though the fleet can do this safely while passing food, mail, spare parts and bullets, the service cannot currently safely pass missiles without risking damage to the weapon or its canister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A support vessel capable of doing this rearm-at-sea mission would need several features, according to Jeff Green, the strategic sealift research and development program manager at the Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For starters, it would need the space and equipment to safely transport and handle the missile canisters, Green told Defense News. And it must be capable of safely mooring up against or maneuvering closely alongside the combatant. It would also need the equipment onboard to not only transfer the missile canisters to a destroyer, but to also ensure the canisters are vertical when loaded into the launcher tubes on the warship\u2019s deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy has long studied each of those pieces. The first two were achieved in a fall demonstration between the destroyer Spruance and the Ocean Valor, an offshore support vessel contracted by Military Sealift Command that serves as a research and development platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third, involving the actual transfer of the missile, did not go as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2261\" height=\"1272\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16_naval_bottomArt.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-117582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16_naval_bottomArt.jpg.jpg 2261w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16_naval_bottomArt.jpg.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16_naval_bottomArt.jpg.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16_naval_bottomArt.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16_naval_bottomArt.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16_naval_bottomArt.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2261px) 100vw, 2261px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Military Sealift Command\u2019s Ocean Valor conducts an at-sea VLS reload with the destroyer Spruance in San Diego, Calif., on Oct. 5, 2022. (MC3 Taylor Crenshaw\/U.S. Navy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Capt. Kendall Bridgewater, the commodore of Military Sealift Command Pacific, told Defense News on Feb. 23 the team conducted two demonstrations between Sept. 30 and Oct. 7: one rearming at the pier at Naval Air Station North Island, and one at anchor in the San Diego Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the first demonstration, Spruance was tied to the pier, and Ocean Valor used a dynamic positioning system to pull up close and hover in a position even as its crane swung a missile canister replica over to the deck of the destroyer, Bridgewater said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the second demonstration, Spruance left the pier and anchored off Point Loma, in the San Diego Bay. Ocean Valor made the same approach and used the dynamic positioning system to maintain a steady distance from the destroyer, despite the heavier winds and currents in this location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnfortunately, that [missile transfer] was not able to be done because we saw that we had excessive motion between the two ships\u201d beyond the safety limits, Bridgewater said. \u201cWe had excessive swing with the crane, which did not allow us to accomplish the at-anchor portion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what does that mean for future development?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ocean Valor \u2014 acting as a surrogate for any other existing or future Military Sealift Command ship \u2014 accomplished the first step of storing and handling the missiles. Bridgewater said the ship didn\u2019t undergo any particular modifications to meet this mission; rather, it just needed the right crane, tilt fixture and personnel brought onboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second step is safely mooring up against or sailing alongside the warship. Bridgewater said Ocean Valor and Spruance were outfitted with sensors for a dynamic positioning system, which basically took control of Ocean Valor\u2019s steering and power and kept the ship exactly in the right place relative to Spruance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two ships were about 60 feet apart at the pier and 90 feet apart at anchor \u2014 very close, in naval operations \u2014 and Bridgewater said the system did so well he doesn\u2019t think bumpers used during the demo are needed in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the third step \u2014 moving the missiles from the support vessel to the destroyer, and successfully into the VLS cells \u2014 is where the challenge remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bridgewater said that, although Ocean Valor and Spruance held the correct positions relative to each other when the latter was at anchor, they were rocking too much in the wind and currents for the crane to safely swing the missile canister replica over to the destroyer, and certainly too much to allow personnel on the Spruance to get close enough to guide the replica into the launcher cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGetting to an end state is going to require further research and development. We were part of one of those steps to get there, and the follow-on steps would be up to\u201d experts at the Navy\u2019s warfare centers, including Green\u2019s team at Carderock, according to Leonard Bell, the deputy commodore at Military Sealift Command Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commitment to find a solution<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Del Toro met in San Diego with sailors and civilians involved in the Spruance demonstration. Despite the failure of the at-anchor portion, the secretary remains determined to perfect this<b> <\/b>expeditionary rearm capability and field it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He noted that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2022\/09\/06\/naval-research-boss-wants-experimentation-czar-powers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Office of Naval Research<\/a> and other Navy organizations are studying a range of options to \u201cexpedite the amount of time and the locations in which we can easily rearm our ships at sea. So the Spruance is the first of those technological experimentations that we\u2019re pursuing; there may very well be more to come with additional investments\u201d the Navy will request in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026, he told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2118\" height=\"1412\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7560537.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-117583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7560537.jpg.jpg 2118w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7560537.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7560537.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7560537.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7560537.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7560537.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2118px) 100vw, 2118px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">U.S. Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro, left, speaks with Cmdr. Douglas Robb, commanding officer of the destroyer Spruance, during a visit to the ship in December 2022. (MC2 Stevin Atkins\/U.S. Navy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conducting an open-ocean rearm \u201cwould be the goal. But we start in safe harbor to be able to prove out that we can actually do this. We can learn from those experiments, and then we can take a look at what else the Office of Naval Research needs to\u201d invest in for an open-ocean capability, Del Toro said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wind and sea conditions on the ocean \u201cmakes it a challenging problem,\u201d he admitted. \u201cBut we have to do better, and that\u2019s why we want to start making those investments now so we can get to a better place two, three years from now,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Green said the Navy is already developing multiple crane systems that could work better than the generic one used on Ocean Valor, as part of a near-term solution to put the crane and support equipment on non-Navy-certified piers or on auxiliary ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the longer term, there\u2019s another concept that calls for using the pulley system that moves containers of food and supplies during an underway replenishment. The TRAM concept \u2014 or transportable rearming mechanism \u2014 is 20 years old, but was not technologically feasible before. The Navy is not investing in the concept, but Del Toro described it as a \u201cpromising\u201d idea at a recent American Society of Naval Engineers conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hitch, however, is that the missiles, once moved by the pulley system to the destroyer, are too bulky and heavy for safe handling on the destroyer deck,<b> <\/b>and still must get vertically loaded into the launcher. Green said the Navy is also developing \u201cequipment for inserting and removing the VLS canisters from the launcher,\u201d which could either be used in conjunction with the crane or sent over via TRAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s unclear how quickly these development efforts will mature, or when the Navy might next conduct a test at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Holmes, the Naval War College expert, the technology shouldn\u2019t be that hard in theory \u2014 the Navy just needs to make a sufficient investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cConceptually it\u2019s not hard at all. You\u2019re basically just dropping a cylinder into a slightly larger cylindrical silo,\u201d he said. \u201cBut the leadership\u2019s commitment to solving the problem has been very slow to build\u201d \u2014 until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt takes commitment from top leadership to make most anything happen in the Navy. And what senior leader is going to invest finite time and energy in such a capability before it becomes obvious the lack of that capability means the difference between victory and defeat?\u201d he added. \u201cWe as a Navy didn\u2019t take the China challenge seriously for far too long, and now we\u2019re scrambling to fix problems we would have been fixing long ago had we taken the challenge seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reloading a vertical launching system is a challenging maneuver, given the crane must hold missile canisters vertically, while
