PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) – In this Military Minute, we highlight a Norfolk-based ship which received a prestigious award after spending several months in the Red Sea. The USNS Supply was honored with the Navy Unit Commendation award for the ship’s support of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group from October 2023 to May 2024. The ship helped to supply fuel, equipment and ammunition while the strike group defended commercial ships against Houthi rebels.
