Military Sealift Command (MSC) dry cargo/ammunition ship USNS Washington Chambers (T-AKE 11) conducted a replenishment-at-sea operation (RAS) with the MSC chartered and Fairwater-operated tanker ship MT Torm Thor. Both ships are supporting the biennial, multi-national Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2026 maritime exercise in Hawaii.

Torm Thor has been providing fuel for the combat logistics fleet ships participating in RIMPAC 2026 since late June. The ability to receive fuel at-sea, enables the CLF ships to remain on station, providing logistic services to exercise participants as needed, without delay.

Hosted biennially by Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet (PACFLT), and executed by C3F, RIMPAC is a multinational maritime exercise that takes place in and around the Hawaiian Islands. This year marks the 30th iteration of RIMPAC, a series that began in 1971. Thirty-one nations, 36 surface ships, 5 submarines, 15 national land forces, more than 206 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC in and around the Hawaiian Islands, June 24 to July 31. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity while fostering and sustaining cooperative relationships among participants critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2026 is the 30th exercise in the series that began in 1971.

With almost 29 years of service across three sea-service communities, one Civil Service Mariner attached to Military Sealift Command has carved out his own career path through hard work and dedication and sees no glass ceiling in his future.

Jason Chambers’ maritime journey started long before he joined MSC in December 2020. His lineage derives from a history of military and mariner background, dating back to WWII.

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) dry cargo/ammunition ship USNS Washington Chambers (T-AKE 11) continues their support to the biennial, multi-national Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2026 maritime exercise in the waters around the Hawaiian Islands, conducting replenishment-at-sea (RAS) operations with the Mexican Navy frigate ARM Benito Juárez (POLA-101).

Chambers is one of two MSC combat logistics fleet ships that have provided logistics services to RIMPAC 2026. MSC fleet replenishment oiler USNS Guadalupe (T-AO 200) also participated in the exercise, but has concluded their operations and returned to the San Diego area to serve as the area duty oiler. Bothe ships provided logistics services to the 36 US and foreign Navy surface ships participating in the exercise. MSC chartered and Fairwater-operated tanker ship MT Torm Thor is providing fuel to the MSC combat logistics ships during replenishment-at-sea events throughout the month of July.

MEET MSC’s NEWEST CIVMAR

Carson Bushnell is a new civil service mariner, third assistant engineer, and U.S. Navy Reserve Strategic Sealift Officer who offers faith-based leadership to our MSC Family.

A 2024 graduate of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Carson delivers dual-role expertise to operational readiness and logistics.

Guided by his faith and his favorite verse, Proverbs 27:17 (“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another”), Carson believes that the best way to lead others is to first listen and then value diverse backgrounds. “Leading with grace at sea helps to prevent friction and fatal errors, builds character and trust, and most importantly, solves problems faster, which is needed when life and death hang in the balance,” he said.

Carson, when you lift your teammates up, everyone wins. We are so happy to welcome you to our family and watch you succeed.
