USS KITTY HAWK (CV 63), At Sea (Nov. 29, 2005) - An MH-60S Knighthawk transports supplies from USNS Flint (T-AE 32) to USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) during a vertical replenishment (VertRep). VertReps are the on- and off-loading of munitions and stores by helicopters while ships are under way. Currently underway in the 7th fleet area of responsibility (AOR), Kitty Hawk demonstrates power projection and sea control as the U.S. Navy's only forward deployed aircraft carrier, operating out of Yokosuka, Japan.
