Greetings USNS Patuxent!

This past weekend, CHOSIN had the privilege to Replenish at Sea (RAS) with USNS Patuxent (T-AO-201), a Henry J. Kaiser-class replenishment oiler operated by the Military Sealift Command. The ability to RAS is critical for our forces to sustain operations at sea.

Mr. Shayne Jarosz, a historian from the Chosin few, came aboard and taught lessons to the entire crew about the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War.
