210707-N-AC165-0021 (July 7, 2021) – Second Officer Alex Footman, assigned to USNS Walter S. Diehl (T-AO 193), explains the significance of an underway replenishment. An UNREP is a broad term for supplying ships at sea with fuel, stores, parts, and ammunition by way of connected replenishment (CONREP) or vertical replenishment (VERTREP). UNREP was first developed in the early 20th century and was the Standard Tensioned Replenishment Alongside Method for the last 100 years. UNREP is a vital capability that enables the joint warfighter and partner nations to keep their forces at sea and on station for extended periods of time. Their ability to remain “in the fight” and have Combat Logistics Forces, like Diehl, rendezvous underway is critical in meeting strategic and tactical objectives.
