U.S. 5TH FLEET AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY, At Sea (Mar. 06, 2013) Afloat Forward Staging Base (Interim) USS Ponce (AFSB(I) 15) conducts a refueling at sea with Military Sealift Command fleet replenishment oiler USNS Joshua Humphreys (T-AO 188) while USS Stockdale (DDG 106) refuels on the opposite side of the oiler. Ponce, formerly designated as an amphibious transport dock ship, was converted and reclassified to fulfill a long-standing U.S. Central Command request for an AFSB to be located in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.
