You know, this just triggered something.  What are you reading/watching
where there are repeated attacks on large ships without carrier
resupply?
I can't think of any with traditional (1 or 2 seat) fighters.  Anime?
I don't watch much of that.

The only thing I can think that might be a problem is HH LACs.	It still
feels odd calling something with an 8(?) man crew a Full Thrust
fighter.
