At sea with USS Curtis Wilbur (DDG 54) Nov. 01, 2002 -- The guided
missile cruiser Curtis Wilbur breaks away after completing a
replenishment at sea (RAS) with the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV
63). Although not a replenishment ship, Kitty Hawk can
provide
other ships with supplies and fuel transfer support. Kitty
Hawk's
current mission is to provide a forward presence in the Asia/Pacific
region, conduct training and exercises with regional allies, and, as
America's "9-11" Battle Group, remain available to respond to emerging
national taskings whenever and wherever needed. U.S. Navy
