#Océanie26 | A 🇫🇷 frigate conducts RAS approach training with the @USNavy in the Pacific ⚓🇫🇷🇺🇸
On 6 November, in the U.S. EEZ off Johnston Atoll, our frigate linked up with U.S. Navy replenishment ship USNS Washington Chambers for replenishment-at-sea (RAS) training.
Heavy seas drove the planned RAS into a RAS approach serial — close-quarters stationkeeping at the limit of the ship’s envelope, testing the crews’ proficiency in demanding conditions.
