The destroyer USS Paul F. Foster turns away after an attempt to refuel from the replenishment oiler USNS Rappahannock (T-AO 204). The seas were too high and conditions too rough to safely execute a scheduled replenishment at sea (RAS). Foster was later able to refuel in calmer seas. Rappahannock, crewed by civilian employees of the Department of the Navy, is one of 13 replensihment oilers of the Military Sealift Command.
