Product description : Task Force Refueling At Sea 1:400 (2023 release)

Replenishment at sea is a crucial operation for maintaining fleets at sea, particularly in remote areas where access to land bases is limited. In 1968, this operation was even more strategic for naval forces, allowing them to extend the duration of combat missions and maintain the effectiveness of the fleets.

The "Replenishment at Sea Task Force" was composed of several types of ships, including tankers and specialized vessels, used to provide fuel and supplies to warships. These operations were not only vital to military missions, but they also represented a fascinating aspect of naval logistics, requiring precise coordination between different ships at sea.

This model recreates this historical period with great attention to detail, allowing you to relive an important part of the history of the Navy and naval operations.
