USNS Bridge (T-AOE-10)
USNS ''Bridge'' is the fourth ship in the ''Supply'' class of fast combat support ships and the second ship in the Navy named after Commodore Horatio Bridge. ''Bridge'' was commissioned on 5 August 1998. Her commissioning CO was CAPT Robbie Williams (a SWO). The second CO was CAPT (now RADM) Rick Wren. In June 2001, CAPT (now VADM) Carol Pottenger relieved CAPT Wren. ''Bridge'' made four deployments as a commissioned warship. On 29 June 2004, ''Bridge'' was formally decommissioned and transferred from the United States Navy to the Military Sealift Command. Although the transfer to MSC officially occurred on 29 June 2004, the ceremony actually took place on 24 June 2004 (which is why the two dates are often interchanged). ''Bridge'' no longer carries the weapons systems she previously was equipped with. As a commissioned warship, ''Bridge'' was equipped with two Phalanx Block 1 CIWS mounts, one NSSM launcher (with two Mk 91 directors), two Mk 38 25-mm chain guns, six .50 cal machine gun mounts,and two M-60 mounts (on the bow). (in addition to the M9 Berettas, M-14's, and 12-gauge Mossbergs issued to the watch standers).
In March 2011, in company with the carrier ''Ronald Reagan'', the ship was deployed off northeastern Honshu, Japan to assist with relief efforts after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.〔Rabiroff, John. ( "U.S. military delivers 40 tons of supplies to hardest-hit areas," ) ''Stars and Stripes'' (US). March 17, 2011; Seawaves,( "Warships Supporting Earthquake in Japan" )〕 One interpretation of multiple surveys and repeated tests for traces of radiation was suggested to indicate that during that time, the ship was not exposed to any leaking radiation from the Fukushima I nuclear accidents, however, the ship was then quickly decommissioned.〔Stewart, Joshua. ("Navy ships off Japan move to avoid radiation," ) ''Japan Times.'' 14 March 2011; retrieved 15 March 2011. 〕 In total, Bridge conducted 25 underway replenishment operations, delivering more than 1.8 millions gallons of fuel in support of Operation Tomodachi.〔http://www.msc.navy.mil/sealift/2011/May/japan.htm〕
In April 2013, it was announced that the MSC will take USNS ''Bridge'' and USNS ''Rainier'' (T-AOE 7) out of service in 2014 as a cost-saving measure.〔http://news.usni.org/2013/04/29/navy-to-decommission-two-oilers-in-cost-saving-scheme#more-3018〕 The ships gas turbine propulsion make them faster than other Navy supply ships, but also make them consume more fuel.
