Koliko se ja razumijem, flota ima brodove za snabdjevanje koji isplovljavaju na zadatak zajedno sa borbenim brodovima, i mogu da vrse popunu municijom i gorivom (i ostalim) dok traje kampanja. Tako to funkcionise. Sad, kolike su zalihe u regionu, to ja ne znam.
Ne znam ni koliki je maksimalni salvo borbene grupe (u stvari mislim da imaju dvije grupe u ovom trenutku tamo). Mozda neko sa vise tehnickog znanja o americkoj mornarici da prebroji.
