Do you mean USNS? As in Military Sea Lift Command Combat Logistics Force vessels?

I don't think that will be possible with this vessel. Have to be a full navy crew aboard...they do that with non-cobatant supply vessels usually.

And, IMHO, for the fast supply AOE vessels and the like, it's a mistake. They have to run with the big task forces and will come into harms way. Those vessels need their self defense armament added back on, IMHO, and be manned by full US Navy crews.
