  • In March 2011, in company with the carrier Ronald Reagan, the ship was deployed off northeastern Honshu, Japan to assist with relief efforts after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Multiple surveys and repeated tests for traces of radiation have proven that during that time, the ship was not exposed to any leaking radiation from the Fukushima I nuclear accidents. In total, Bridge conducted 25 underway replenishment operations, delivering more than 1.8 millions gallons of fuel in support of Operation Tomodachi.

  • In March 2011, in company with the carrier Ronald Reagan, the ship was deployed off northeastern Honshu, Japan to assist with relief efforts after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Multiple surveys and repeated tests for traces of radiation have proven that during that time, the ship was not exposed to any leaking radiation from the Fukushima I nuclear accidents. In total, Bridge conducted 25 underway replenishment operations, delivering more than 1.8 millions gallons of fuel in support of Operation Tomodachi. In April 2013, it was announced that the MSC will take USNS BRIDGE and USNS RAINIER (T-AOE 7) out of service in 2014 as a cost-saving measure.
