USNS Rappahannock (T-AO 204) steam along side each other during a
replenishment at sea (RAS). A RAS allows ships to continue
conducting their missions without having to return to port for food,
fuel, or other needed supplies. Kitty Hawk is conducting work-ups
in preparation for an upcoming regularly scheduled deployment.
