210714-N-OH262-0097 ATLANTIC OCEAN (July 14, 2021)--Operations Specialist Bria Davis, a Civil Service Mariner attached to Military Sealift Command's fleet replenishment oiler USNS Joshua Humphreys (T-AO 188), raises the 'ROMEO' signal flag indicating the ship is ready to begin an underway replenishment-at-sea with the guided-missile destroyer USS Truxtun (DDG 108), in the Atlantic Ocean, July 14. Underway replenishments-at-sea enable the Navy's combatant ships to re-supply without having to pull into port, thus allowing them to stay on mission for an extended time.
