ABOARD USNS BRIDGE – USNS Bridge conducted underway replenishments with nine U.S. ships June 1-3 in the Arabian Gulf.

More than 865,000 gallons of jet fuel, 2.3 million gallons of diesel fuel, 560 pallets of food, ammunition and stores were transferred over the three-day period.

It was an undertaking that didn't intimidate the crew of Bridge in the slightest.
