IN COMP This spectacular image, captured by Able Helicopter Loadmaster Tyson Turnbull in HMNZS AOTEAROA’s embarked Seasprite SH-2G(I) helicopter, shows HMNZS TE KAHA (left) and AOTEAROA conducting a Replenishment at Sea (RAS) manoeuvre. This instance, taken during the ships’ two-week passage to Guam, was unique in that it was the first-ever major concurrent serial, a RAS while conducting flying operations.
