Better to go alongside to that. We had Pat Benatar screaming"Hit Me With Your Best Shot!" going alongside the Saratoga because one of their A-6s hit USS Mahan DDG42 in after steering with a practice bomb & later, they missed us with 3 shotlines. We went alongside USS Detroit for the unrep that day instead.
Was on an old Adam’s Class DDG, the John King DDG-3. Captain loved going to flank speed at a hard left/right rudder doing our break-aways. Loved those Tin Can boats! Did a 2 year sentence on a brand new Gator Navy boat after that...give me a can any time!
Was the oil king, only got to see a few before I was oil king lol! I do remember that it was typically treated as an "emergency breakway' drill everytime and we went to flank.
So many replenishments aboard the USS Aldebaran (AF-10) 1959-1962 Norfolk to the Med and back. Only one real injury nothing to do with cargo transfer. No. 2 hold winch operator on all trip except the first.
Just my eyesight or do i detect a certain amount of 'Drifting? Fairly sure there's going to be some in such a hard turn. First time i noticed this much. Thanks for posting. Brought back many UNREP memories. DD878
No prob.. I'm not sure of drifting.. possible.just caught this view coming out of aft steering at the end of the evolution. My numerous observations of DDG'S break aways. Is the harmonics of the mast as they reach optimal speed.
No emergency blasts of the whistle,no bosun calling "Emergency Breakaway, Emergency Breakaway, Emergency Breakaway!",& especially no breakaway music? Did those things change in the last 34 years since I got out?
Nope that hasn’t changed. There was music crank ya volume up. This shot was coming out of aft steering on the fantail. The 1MC announcements and break away whistle blasts had already taken place.
Slow ass breakaway. Utterly weak. Not just weak, but "woke diversity/inclusion pride bullshit" weak. This is how I did it in the Cold War when I had the CONN: (1) The moment BM in the refueling station trips the pelican hook, order the Signalmen to let P&D line fly off into the ocean. (2) Then order the lee helmsman to ring up ALL AHEAD FULL on your engines, revs to at least 21 knots, and the moment your aft quarter is parallel with the UNREP ships, (3) Order the helm into a 30 degree standard rudder turn. (OPTIONAL ONLY ON STEAM WARSHIPS - IF THE CO OK'S IT, THE MOMENT YOU TURN, YOU HAVE THE EEOW "BLOW THE SAFETIES" ON THE BOILERS!!!!!!) THAT'S REAL NAVY SHIPHANDLING.
My first ship was the USS Sampson DDG10, We had a Breakaway Song, Running On Empty. Got to love a safe Unrep.

Tincan boats are best boats.
I like the House of Pain playing in the background!
awesome breakaway song lol
If I was commander of a ship like that, I'd eat all the strawberries, and then launch an investigation into it....
Mannnnn, nothing like it. Still gives me chills to see the breakaway!
I remember our breakaways on the USS ROARK FF-1053 . Normally from the USS Kansas City. Back in the day. I do not recall the song we played though.

Awesome and thanks for sharing. Thanks for all who serve to protect our freedom!
You bet!
Our breakaway song was Radar Love on the USS Valley Forge
Still miss running the rig every 3-4 days on DD-987, and DD-970 ! Hung up my uniform in 2000. It was an interesting career.

USS Mahan DDG42 had a CWO2 Gumphrey 1985-87(?).
Would you know of any kinship?

👍👍👍
I helped build that ship
Nice! Navy thanks u! 🥃🏴☠️🤙🏻
Since when did Burkes get aft SesRAM?
You mean they didn't tell you
@@bowdoin5063 no one ran it by me either.
Easily they installed one
@@Conan-ny1um and they seem to be intalling these on Flt 1s too.
they're slowly replacing CWIS with sea rams... But I'm a little confused because I thought they only do that on newer flights of burkes...
Broke too slow and turned too soon... but that's me.

Anybody tell what UNREP means? I can see REP for replenishment...but the UN? Unreplenishment? 😁
Underway replenishment
@@TacticalToucann yah know…
And if you add helos to the effort, that's a vertical replenishment or vertrep for the supplies brought over that way.
Way too slow. I was rig captain on the white plains and saw perry class ffg's produce rooster tails and were over the horizon in 5 minutes
In tmn bany
Great video
