Underway Replenishment-At-Sea Padeyes are designed to allow Navy combat ships to transfer materials to and from supply ships while underway. This is referred to as connected UNREP, or Underway Replenishment-at Sea.

Underway replenishment (UNREP) (U.S. Navy) or replenishment at sea (RAS) (North Atlantic Treaty Organization / Commonwealth of Nations) is a method of transferring fuel, munitions, and stores from one ship to another while under way.

Mar 24, 2025 · An EA-18G Growler, assigned to the “Gauntlets’ of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 136 launches from the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) during a replenishment-at-sea ...

Aug 22, 2019 · Although CVN-78 will include a new Heavy underway replenishment (UNREP) system that will transfer cargo loads of up to 12,000 pounds, the Navy’s plan to install Heavy UNREP systems on resupply ships beginning in FY16 is unfunded. Heavy UNREP is needed to transfer JSF engines to CVN-78 when it is at-sea.

Initiated in response to the CVN 78 ORD, this program advances the UNREP state-of-the-art technology using constant tension methodology, coupled with new drive technologies to safely and effectively meet the heavy UNREP operational requirements: operation in higher sea states; reduced UNREP time; reduced manpower; and, heavier load-transfer.

Jul 1, 2013 · The ability to transfer heavier loads faster translates to fewer transfers and increased readiness for the fleet by decreasing UNREP times. The system was conceived to meet the UNREP requirements of the Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) class.

Jun 7, 2018 · In this video, watch as aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) conducts a replenishment-at-sea evolution with USNS Leroy Grumman (T-AO 195). USS Ford is currently underway conducting test and evaluation operations.

The Ford (CVN-78)-class aircraft carriers, with their advanced systems, are designed to generate significantly more sorties than the Nimitz class—making the current STREAM system inadequate to the task of supplying the ammunition and fuel required to support full sortie generation rates. Simply put, a significant increase in sorties will ...
