U.S. Navy 7th Fleet Flagship, USS Saint Paul, is replenished underway by Fleet Oiler USS Hassayampa

U.S. ships of 7th Fleet seen during underway replenishment operations in the Western Pacific Ocean. Closeup (taken aboard) of the 7th Fleet Flagship, USS Saint Paul (CA-73) being refueled by the U.S. Navy Fleet Oiler, USS Hassayampa (AO-145) while underway. Two refueling hoses are seen between the ships. Camera pans toward the Oiler where the 6-inch fuel hoses can be clearly seen suspended from booms by saddles and associated rigging. (At this point, the camera records accidentally for a moment.) Next, the cruiser, USS Bremerton (CA-130) is seen silhouetted against the horizon. Scene shifts to view from stern of the Saint Paul, where two aircraft carriers and four other escort warships are seen following behind her.
