	RFA TANKERS
		Replenishment at sea (RAS) had come a long way since its early years and most of the 'Leaf' and 'Dale' class tankers were fitted for under-way refuelling by both astern and abeam methods.
		The 3 replenishment oilers of the 'Tide' class were completed in 1955/56 and were the first 'purpose-built' tankers for replenishment at sea.
		The 'Ol' Class vessels were commissioned in 1965/66 and were a larger and improved version of the later 'Tides' with a deadweight tonnage of 25,100.

		This particular class of ship was not renowned for its stability and when loaded had to carry lots of ballast, as well as cargo in their tanks they also carried up to ten tons of lubricating oil on deck and were well armed considering their vulnerability.
		This class of ships primary role is for the transfer of fuel from refineries to Naval Storage facilities, certain of their number were modernised for replenishment at sea as and when required.
		This class of six ships had a larger carrying capacity than that of the Harbour Tankers, 2,600 tons of fuel oil, 550 tons of diesel and 90 tons of petrol, Black Rangers own bunkers were 300 tons and at 14 knots gave her thirty days steaming.

	Science Fair Projects - USS Yorktown (CV-5)
		Admiral Chester Nimitz later called the Marshalls-Gilberts raids "well conceived, well planned, and brilliantly executed." The results obtained by TF's 8 and 17 were noteworthy, Nimitz continued in his subsequent report, because the task forces had been obliged to make their attacks somewhat blindly, due to lack of hard intelligence data on the Japanese-mandated islands.
		Yorktown subsequently returned to Pearl Harbor and replenished there before she put to sea on 14 February, bound for the Coral Sea.
		Yorktown had not achieved her part in the victory without cost, and had suffered enough damage to cause experts to estimate that at least three months in a yard would be required to put her back in fighting trim.

		The oil and the oiler are the Achilles heels for both sides, King, your point is well taken.

		In addition to replenishment of calories and fluids, properly fueling the body during exercise requires consistent and adequate electrolyte replenishment as well.
		Therefore, as important as the fuel you consume and the water you drink during exercise is a consistent replenishment of electrolytes.
