REPLENISHMENT-AT-SEA   SHIPS.— Replenishment at sea is the term applied to the transfer of fuel, munitions, supplies, and personnel from one vessel to another while ships are under way. During World War II, replenishment at sea (fig. 8-32) was developed to a fine art of seamanship, which is taken as a matter of course today. Replenishment at sea is accomplished with both the replenishment  ship  and  the  ship(s)  being  replenished steaming  side  by  side  on  parallel  courses  at  a 8-27 Figure 8-32.—Replenishment at sea enables the fleet to remain at sea and make successive strikes without returning to base for fuel, ammunition, and supplies.
