An aircraft carrier needs resupply with avgas every three days when operating up-tempo. Warships use up resources like crazy, they're not going off on five year

  ...avgas? I'd hope it get refilled with JP-5, unless the naval aviation field has suddenly moved back to piston aircraft when I wasn't looking.

    Indeed, although the article I found in Quora (from a carrier guy) actually used the term avgas and I didn't parse it :-)
