The underway replenishment oiler USNS Guadalupe (T-AO 200) pulls alongside the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) during a replenishment at sea operation on July 2, 2005. The underway replenishment allows fuel for both ships and aircraft, and stores to be transferred from ship-to-ship, extending their at sea capabilities. The Kitty Hawk Carrier Strike Group recently completed combined exercise Talisman Saber with the Australian Navy.
