Answer
During the Pacific war, the US fleet operating away from port almost never refueled. This was because the US Navy used a "system of logistics" to provide fuel to its ships at sea. This system consisted of a network of oil tankers and supply ships that followed the fleet and provided fuel, ammunition, and other supplies.
