Naval Warfare Publication - Underway Replenishment (NWP 4-01.4)

The information contained in NWP 4-01.4, Underway Replenishment, is directed toward preparing both the replenishment and customer ship for a replenishment evolution. Detailed rig make-up, requisite equipment, and standardized procedures are established to serve as specific guidelines for all aspects of replenishment at sea. NWP 4-01.4 has evolved over the years as a direct result of continuing fleet requirements to standardize procedures, furnish rig make-up guidance, and provide continuity in application and use. The highest degree of professional competence in UNREP evolutions is required for their safe and efficient conduct. Each ship shall ensure wide dissemination to all personnel involved in the planning of, supervision of, and participation in UNREP evolutions.
