That's a 450ft frigate bobbing up and down. I'm on a 550ft destroyer trying to come along side that oiler to take on fuel....we didn't get any. Kept popping the hose and spraying the deck with JP3.

Man that brings back memories...  Worst one we were ever in was in the tail end of a hurricane in the Atlantic.. Wind was down but the seas were still pretty high... Finally had to abandon the refueling...even on the leeward siide the waves were too rough to get close. The tanker kept drifting in, impossible to hold course. From one tin can sailor to another...thanks!!!

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
