Virtually all missiles in the classes you're talking about use solid rocket motors, so lack of aviation fuel would not be a problem (ignoring the question of powering any launch platform!). Only the really long-range cruise missiles use turbine engines and therefore require kerosene; the quantity of kerosene in those missiles is relatively small and I'm sure they could keep finding enough of it in future.
