This is a little bit of a misnomer. CVN's are still very much a part of the logistics chain as they regularly take on fuel for their CAGs - and that fuel is sometimes used to refuel the carrier escorts during exercises.

And since Mayport has hosted carriers for decades, an infrastruction for loading aviation fuel will already be in place. The requirements for loading it on nuclear carriers will not be any different than loading it on a conventional one.

A “Fleet” Commanded by a Rear Admiral?

He’s obviously a warrior of note, but until they let me know what assets he’s going to have available, this is pretty much a paper move.

Most CTGs were run by RADMs if I recall. A Fleet was a Vice Admiral slot.
