- Underway replenishment [r]: A series of techniques, introduced in the Second World War, for keeping warships in constant operation by resupplying them at sea; challenging both in the pure seamanship of the transfer, and the logistical system that brings supplies to the ships [e]
- Connected replenishment [r]: A subset of underway replenishment, in which the supply ship and the warship being resupplied stay in a close formation, making transfers with hoses for fuel, and ropes and cables lifting equipment and baskets of supplies. Requires an extremely high level of seamanship [e]
- Vertical replenishment [r]: A subset of underway replenishment, in which the supply ship and the warship being resupplied do not physically connect, but use helicopters to transfer the supples. Faster and requiring less shiphandling skill than connected replenishment, but cannot transfer as large a volume [e]
