Their mission\u00a0\u2014\u00a0to empower global warfighting capabilities\u00a0\u2014\u00a0is a critical component of force readiness, serving as the lifeline for American vessels and troops at sea. Underway replenishment of fuel, ammunition, food and spare parts enables vessels to operate worldwide with little support from host nations. <br\/><br\/> The first open ocean underway replenishment was conducted in 1799 by Capt. Silas Talbot aboard the U.S. Navy warship, the USS Constitution. The use of small boats for replenishment enabled the Constitution to stay at sea for over 347 days while protecting American shipping in the Caribbean. <br\/><br\/><img decoding=\"async\" data-alignment=\"center\" data-object-id=\"0000015c-59ff-d956-a5df-d9ff96580000\" data-type=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/snagfilms-a.akamaihd.net\/2f\/01\/be4504ef4aa28add5b6de21f47b8\/6510634955-7c45c9b0a5-z.jpg\"\/><figcaption> <span>Sailors aboard the guided-missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill (CG 52) guide a refueling probe during an underway replenishment with the Military Sealift Command dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Washington Chambers (T-AKE 11). <\/span><\/figcaption><figcaption> <span>Photo Credit: U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class John Grandin<\/span><\/figcaption><br\/>On May 28, 1917, Lt. Chester Nimitz pioneered modern underway replenishment by refueling six destroyers that were en route to England for operations during World War I. The first transfer of ordnance came during World War II, thus enabling that Navy\u2019s carrier task forces to operate for months on end.<br\/><br\/>The Navy continued improving the reliability of its underway replenishment system post-World War II, and presently, there are almost 400 fuel and cargo delivery stations in the Navy and an untold number among U.S. allies. <br\/><br\/><img decoding=\"async\" data-alignment=\"center\" data-object-id=\"0000015c-5a02-db7e-ab5c-7aeac5cd0000\" data-type=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/snagfilms-a.akamaihd.net\/fb\/37\/1550283044c284ecafcc582c3a57\/5536920611-130e46028d-z.jpg\"\/><figcaption> <span>Sailors assigned to the guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87) attach a re-fueling hose during an underway replenishment with the Military Sealift Command fleet replenishment oiler USNS Patuxent (T-AO 201). <\/span><\/figcaption><figcaption> <span>Photo Credit: U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jeffry A.
