The Military Sealift Command (MSC) oiler USNS Yukon (T-A0 202)
Pacific Ocean (Aug. 23, 2004) - The Military Sealift Command (MSC) oiler USNS Yukon (T-A0 202) prepares for a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) with USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) in a turbulent western Pacific Ocean. Kitty Hawk Carrier Strike Group cut short its port visit in Guam to skirt Super Typhoon Chaba (19W), which formed west of the island. Currently under way in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility (AOR), Kitty Hawk demonstrates power projection and sea control as the world's only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier, operating from Yokosuka, Japan.
