The Navy’s Wasp-class landing helicopter dock ship USS Essex (LHD-2) conducts underway replenishment operations with the Military Sealift Command dry cargo/ammunition ship USNS Matthew Perry Off the coast of Southern California. Perry provided logistics services to the ships of the USS Essex Amphibious Readiness Group as they conducted pre-deployment exercises and qualifications. Through a series of replenishments-at-sea (RAS), Perry delivered 81 pallets of food, parts and equipment as well as 600 thousand gallons of diesel ship fuel JP5 aviation fuel.
Perry’s logistics support at sea, enabled the ARG to remain at sea longer and to conduct more than one certification in an underway period, reducing the at-sea time for the ships pre-deployment.
