ARABIAN GULF (Dec. 6, 2018) The Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) approaches Alan Shepard-class dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Alan Shepard (T-AKE 3) to conduct a replenishment-at-sea during a regularly scheduled deployment of Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU).
