One of the most important aspects of naval warfare is
the ability to provide supply and support operations. With
the Navy’s wide range of underway replenishment and
supply ships, we can keep U.S. Navy battle groups under
way in crisis areas for long periods of time. The most
recent example of this ability is the Persian Gulf War.
Today’s Navy consists of a new generation of cruisers,
destroyers, fighter and strike aircraft, high-speed
amphibious assault ships, mine countermeasures
ships, replenishment ships, submarines, and weapons
systems. With these craft, vessels, and weapons
systems, our nation employs the most modern and
capable naval force in existence.
