Philippine Sea (Feb. 17, 2005) -- Following a vertical replenishment,
the fast combat support ship USS Camden (AOE 2) separates from her
position alongside the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham
Lincoln (CVN 72). The fast combat support ship (AOE) is the
Navy’s largest combat logistics ship. The AOE has the speed and
armament to keep up with the Carrier Strike Groups and has the
capability to carry more than 177,000 barrels of oil, 2,150 tons of
ammunition, 500 tons of dry stores and 250 tons of refrigerated
stores. Lincoln and embarked Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) are
currently deployed to the Western Pacific Ocean. U.S. Navy photo by
