The Chung Hoon took on 200,000 pounds of fuel, a 50/50 mix of its normal diesel fuel and a biofuel component, which consists of algae and reprocessed cooking oil. The Chung Hoon also participated in the Great Green Fleet demonstration, and will continue to test and evaluate the fuel while doing normal operations during RIMPAC.
