a nuclear carrier, carries quite a bit of jet fuel as it doesn't have to have huge tanks for its own use. so resupply, while important is not quite as important now is it?
Care to do the maths on how many days CVN CAG will take to empty the JP5 bunkers vs QE? Not the only limiting factor either.....
