USNS CHARLES DREW, At Sea—The dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Charles Drew (T-AKE 10) conducted a replenishment at sea (RAS), April 19, with three U.S. and foreign vessels that recently participated in exercise Komodo.
The Drew provided fuel and replenishment cargo to the guided missile destroyer USS Stockdale (DDG 106), fuel to the Japanese helicopter destroyer JS Ise (DDH 182), and cargo to Australian frigate HMAS Anzac (FF 150).
The replenishment operation took approximately five hours to complete, while the vertical replenishment of the Anzac occurred simultaneously with the RAS of the Stockdale.
The replenishment-at-sea occurred during transit after the multilateral naval exercise Komodo, which featured 35 navies across the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
The USNS Charles Drew is currently assigned to the 7th fleet area of responsibility.
