The data was reported in accordance with COMNAVSURFPACINST 3180.2E. There are four results obtained in the study. The first result is that refueling transfer rates in NWP-14C, Replenishment at Sea compare favorably with the observed data for average value events. Secondly for single station conventional replenishment (CONREP) of ammunition and stores, short tons per hour as a transfer rate measure (the transfer rate in NWP-14C) is not a significant predictor of the required transfer time. Therefore this thesis recommends measuring conventional replenishment transfer rates rates in minutes per lift. Third a simple linear regression model is proposed to describe single station refueling and CONREP transfer rates. And finally a logarithmic multiple regression model is proposed to describe the total time required for an underway replenishment (UNREP), for situations in which several commodities are transferred.
