UNDERSEA WARFARE
The crew of HMAS Stalwart has successfully conducted the ship’s first replenishment at sea, marking a milestone after just a short time in service.
HMAS Parramatta received HMAS Stalwart’s padded fuel line for its first replenishment at sea.
According to commanding officer of Stalwart, Commander Steve McCracken, the evolution signalled that Stalwart was “open for business”.
“Today, we have successfully proved a number of vital systems that all come together in performing a replenishment at sea, from ship-handling to the actual transfer of supplies, and it’s a credit to all involved that the evolution went so well,” CMDR McCracken said.
The second Royal Australian Navy supply Class auxiliary oiler replenishment ship, Stalwart’s main role is to provide logistics replenishment to naval combat units at sea.
