Photo of the Week: Because No One Should Read Too Much on Fridays

refueling

You can't run the world's biggest international maritime exercise without lots of energy. Rim of the Pacific 2010 is a go this week in the Pacific, and to mark the occasion PACOM posted this photo of refueling with littoral combat ship USS Freedom and amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (hat tip to @NavyNews for linking to pics of it). Have a great weekend everyone!

He posted why those planes are on deck in his blog last night: http://www.informationdissemination.net/2010/06/about-those-fixed-wing-a...
