250104-N-GC639-1048 SOUTH CHINA SEA (Jan. 4, 2025) - Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuel) 2nd Class Devonte McDaniel, left, of Chicago, and Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuel) Airman Marc Bugdady, of Los Angeles, inject water into a fuel sample taken from a refueling station during a refueling-at-sea with the Henry J. Kaiser-class fleet replenishment oiler USNS Tippecanoe (T-AO 199) in the fuel quality assurance shop aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), Jan. 4, 2025. Water is injected into the fuel, mixed and examined with a refractometer to determine fuel system icing inhibitor, which prevents the water in the fuel from freezing at high altitudes. Vinson, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group ONE, is underway conducting routine operations in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations.
