	Encyclopedia: Replenishment Oiler
		A replenishment oiler is a naval auxiliary ship with fuel tanks and dry stores capability, which can replenish other ships underway.
		Protecteur-class Auxiliary Oiler Replenishment (AOR) ships are used by the Canadian Navy to resupply ships at sea with food, munitions, fuel and spare parts.
		They are equipped with highly automated fuel and cargo handling systems, and are capable of underway replenishment (UNREP in navy terminology) from both port and starboard sides simultaneously, and also can transfer stores and munitions by helicopter (vertical replenishment or VERTREP).

		Replenishment stations on both sides of the oiler allow the T-AOs to deliver their goods to two ships simultaneously.
		During an underway replenishment, the "customer" comes alongside the oiler as both ships continue to cruise at 12-14 knots, or about 15 mph.

		Task Force 77 and other warships in the Sea of Japan were replenished by a regularly-maintained force of two tankers, one or two ammunition ships, plus such other supply ships as were needed.
		As the war continued, the efficiency of underway replenishment improved as much as an evolving "state of the art" allowed.
		Night-time resupply, previously seen as unacceptably dangerous, became routine, allowing ships to work almost around-the-clock, flying and shooting during the day and replenishing fuel and ammunition after dark -- a very punishing pace for crews, but one that could be sustained during a military crisis.

	H-Net Review: Mark P. Parillo on Gray Steel and Black Oil: Fast Tankers and Replenishment at Sea in the U.S. Navy, ...
		The author is thorough in his chronological coverage of the subject, beginning with the first at-sea refuelling during World War I, the period of the first major U.S. naval activity of the petroleum age.
		Given the concurrent conversion of the fleet's boilers from coal- to oil-firing, development of underway replenishment was something more than an incremental advance in logistical efficiency; rather, it marked the dawn of an age in which naval mobility showed tremendous strategic potential.
		Though important for its strategic implications, the technology of underway replenishment is the lesser half of the story Wildenberg has to tell.
