| It
was not uncommon to be VERTREP'ing (Vertical Replenishment) at the same
time UNREP was going on. We had two Chinook Helicopters on board for
VERTREP's. |
With
UNREP complete the Midway pulls away to rejoin the Battle Group. It was
not uncommon for ships to play a song over the 1MC while pulling away. A
favorite was "On the Road Again". |
Finally
we pull away from the Battle group to either UNREP another ship or start
heading back to port to load up again. |
