Guided-missile destroyer USS Chung Hoon (DDG 93) approaches amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8) during a fueling-at-sea (FAS) aboard Makin Island, March 15, 2023 in the South China Sea. The ability to refuel ships at sea demonstrates the mobility and sustainability provided by amphibious platforms that gives our Navy/Marine Corps team an asymmetric advantage in a maritime environment. Makin Island and Chung Hoon of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 11 are operating in the 7th Fleet area of operations, the U.S. Navy's largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, routinely operating with Allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
