[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 7434, member: 148"] The ship is the USS Canisteo (AO-99), which is a Fleet Oiler. Those towers are called King Posts and are used to support a series of wire ropes that connect to a receiving ship when we would transfer fuel and supplies such as seen in the below photo of our ship transferring fuel to the USS Forrestal. [img]https://www.tinboats.net/forum/images/albums/userpics/normal_Unrep_with_Forrestal.jpg[/img] The entire evolution is arduous and dangerous. Seen too many close calls during those things: from ruptured hoses to near collisions to that **** Russian spy ship that stopped right in front of us during an UNREP (underway replenishment) and caused us to have to do an emergency breakaway.
