Where could Navy ships refuel pier-side?

Oil tankerNavy vesselFUEL
Refuel by “bunkering” in strategic harbors and bays

Complying overseas
Host nation sensitivityOil spill sensitivity
Greek tanker Aegean Sea
(1992)
… sometimes less sensitive
Greek use of “dispersants”

Future implications
Transformation:
• More battle groups• Less ships (increased capabilities)• Positioned at more locations
