ABOARD USS NASSAU (LHA 4) - USS Nassau (LHA 4) conducts a replenishment at sea (RAS) with the French Navy ship FS Courbet (F712), Feb. 8, 2006. Members of Nassau's Deck Department performed all the necessary steps to conduct a RAS transferring fuel to Courbet, while Helicopter Combat Support Squadron 28 (HSC-28) practiced Vertical Replenishment maneuvers. This evolution allowed Nassau's crew to demonstrate their ability to successfully conduct operations with coalition forces as they continue to support Maritime Security Operations (MSO). Nassau is deployed as flag ship for Expeditionary Strike Group 8 (ESG-8) supporting MSO in the 5th Fleet Area of Operations. MSO seek to preserve the free and secure use of the world's oceans by legitimate mariners, and prevent terrorists from attempting to use the maritime environment as a venue for attack or as a medium to transport personnel, weapons or other material that could support their efforts.
