Given the concurrent conversion of the fleet's boilers from coal- to oil-firing, development of underway replenishment was something more than an incremental advance in logistical efficiency; rather, it marked the dawn of an age in which naval mobility showed tremendous strategic potential.

Nimitz. Heavy may require extra postage.
