Supposedly most of the 1052 class could manage to top off their potable water tanks each night, but that sure wasn't the case for the DDGs and CGs.<br /><br />Now the tenders, they were designed to be able to supply water to the ships moored alongside. I've been told that the tenders, when they were at sea, were fresh-water rich and for them, the tough times were when they had to anchor with ships moored alongside to them, But I don't know for sure.

Ranger had the other luxury of jet fuel in the fresh water. <br />When I was first aboard Independence, we were on water hours at sea during workups. 100 man berthing on the 03 level between the water brakes for the bow cats. <br />Ripe. V-1 Division Berthing. Blue Shirts, Yellow Shirts, Crash and Salvage. Ripe. We had a deep sink with salt water. We did 'sponge' bathing in it.Glenn Mark Casselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305109383344139028noreply@blogger.com
