Refueling a Destroyer at sea

This was taken in the Mediterranean in 1956.The Dickson DD708 took American citizens to safety during the Arab-Israeli war. Our carrier steamed around the Gulf of Aquaba keeping an eye on Egypt for a month. We had constant flight operations at that time.

Fantastic, and I am wondering about your vantage point here. Looks mighty risky, especially in the rough waters.
