Although underway replenishment operations were generally conducted at night,
the bridge UNREP team occasionally enjoyed the comparative luxury of unrestricted

Air controllers became adept at shuttling helicopters on and off our deck, as mail,
freight and passengers were transferred on a daily basis.
