I read just the other day about a daisy-chain method of refuelling from smaller navy ships that can be used in instances just like this.
You will notice that our ships do not run out of fuel and become stranded in the middle of the sea. That’s because they are doing what I said.
With the USNS Big Horn, the only U.S. Navy oiler in the Middle East, running aground, alternative refueling options for ships include:Port Refueling: The strike group's destroyers can refuel at ports and transport aviation fuel to the carrier for aircraft.
Commercial Tankers: The Navy is seeking a commercial oil tanker to supply jet fuel to the USS Abraham Lincoln, which may require retrofitting to meet Navy standards.
Dry Cargo/Ammunition Ships: These ships in the region can provide some fuel, albeit limited.

A. Is that a proven method?
B. Are such ships in the area?
You are moving the goalposts.

goalposts are always moving.
Several hits on freighters were from missiles. The trick is to get them to expend their SM supply, causing them to either withdraw or be hit by missiles.
They are not on station while making fuel runs to ‘friendly ports’. It also consumes fuel to make fuel runs which means even when on station it’s for shortened periods. Also, while talking at fleet levels this is many ships (many with escorts) at a time that are off station. So far as smaller ships refueling others, I don’t know anything of that capability. If it was viable then where is the need for refueling ships? Why is one ship taken out of service for running aground even a big deal with so many other ships are capable of performing that function?
Blah blah blah. Info I have comes from the U.S. Navy.
For crying out loud, when is this cowardly, feckless administration going to take out the Houti scumbags?
Yeah, so? You suggested that our ships just refuel at friendly ports. I laid out what that would look like. If you're saying from your sources that they are doing just that, then it validates my response. duh!
Cost in not an issue if the drone is heading toward you.
...but there are no US forces in a war zone. Harris said so.
We wouldn't be facing war against China and Russia if not for our and NATO's naked aggression.
We fomented the illegal coup in Ukraine that set the present war off. We encouraged Ukraine to renege on the Minsk Accords, which, if implemented, would have prevented this war.
The Western elite wanted to get their grubby hands on the $10-12 trillion dollars of resources in Ukraine and, according to a 2019 RAND corporation report, wanted to break Russia into six different countries.
We, including idiots with your mentality, made Russia our enemy and pushed them into an alliance with China.
YOU and your ilk are the ones pushing us toward WW III.
All you have are lies.
“”””We wouldn’t be facing war against China and Russia if not for our and NATO’s naked aggression.””””
You really are as crazy as your posts reveal.
You're the one defending atrocities committed by OUR GOVERNMENT.
The CIA and their color revolutions have become a menace to the rest of the world and endangered the citizens of this country.
You're either blatantly lying or stuck in world 40 years ago that no longer exists.
And, once again, you couldn't address a single point I made, which is the norm for you.
“”””We wouldn’t be facing war against China and Russia if not for our and NATO’s naked aggression.””””
That is so far crazy that there is nothing to respond to.
I'd expect nothing less from you.
“”””We wouldn’t be facing war against China and Russia if not for our and NATO’s naked aggression.””””
I have pointed out some corrections to you before but which you have never acknowledged since crazy ranting is your only speed and you don’t respond to or even acknowledge corrections to any of your huge numbers of errors and fake claims.
But to waste time on a guy this crazy and wasting time to deal with this silliness? “”””We wouldn’t be facing war against China and Russia if not for our and NATO’s naked aggression.””””
You're dick is too small!
This just more proof you can't defend your position and refute my points.
You're intellectually lacking.
