200602-N-HR150-1099 PHILIPPINE SEA (June 2, 2020) Yeoman 3rd Class Charmaine Dalusung, from Las Vegas, signals from aboard U.S. 7th Fleet flagship USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) to the Henry J. Kaiser-class underway replenishment oiler USNS Tippecanoe (T-AO-199) during 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.
