200602-N-HR150-1064 PHILIPPINE SEA (June 2, 2020) Senior Chief Yeoman Michael Trisler, from Grants, New Mexico, observes the Henry J. Kaiser-class underway replenishment oiler USNS Tippecanoe (T-AO-199) prior to coming alongside U.S. 7th Fleet flagship USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) for an underway replenishment (UNREP). U.S. Navy ships at sea conduct UNREPs to deliver essential parts, food and mail needed to keep the fleet on mission. Blue Ridge is the oldest operational ship in the Navy and, as 7th Fleet command ship, actively works to foster relationships with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
