The US navy does not have any refuelling assets, so all refuelling is provided by Omega tankers.
Never knew that, although I suppose it makes sense, when you take your airport with you why would need air to air refuelling I assume F-18 can buddy tank for longer range missions?Eric Mc said:
Can't they refuel from USAF tankers?
Agreed. I believe there is a real push for compatibility between services and between countries.USA has also made a huge effort towards having its entire military running, or able to run, on a single fuel. This has a massive logistical benefit.
