<t> The Long Island was mainly designed as an aircraft ferry, although I have successfully used her as an ASW platform flying Marine SBD's awaiting the seizure of Guadalcanal and subsequent opening of Henderson Field.<br/>
<br/>
CVE's were widely used in the Atlantic flying TBM Avengers and FM-2 ...

<t> I used the Long Island as an ASW carrier by embarking a Marine SBD uniit available at the beginning of the game. I assign several 4-stacker destroyers to complete the task force. I station it near the Rennell Islands until Henderson Field is operational, and then move the SBD's there.<br/>

No I'm not sure about the Ops Points. I know you are supposed to share a hex with the AO TF for one turn. does that mean that hex hex should be your "destination" for two turns?

Well, in any case, if I can't get them to refuel carriers I will simply have to park them at a nearby friendly beach and bring the carriers to them.

<t> I am currently reading Samuel Eliot Morison's USN Ops in WWII. He doesn't differentiate beween oilers (AO) and tankers (TK). As a matter a fact, he refers to the fleet oilers that supported the fast carrier task forces as "tankers". I know this doesn't apply to game play, but it is interesting ...

<t> OK. I'll try "Replenish TF at Sea". <br/>
<br/>
To use gravity feed, you need to have a receiver at a lower level than you. So tankers should be able to gravity refuel their small escorts but not a larger ship like a CV. <br/>
<br/>
There are glitches in the game. I can't get the aircraft ...

<t> No, I am working with a Replenishment TF with only AO ships involved, no tankers in the TF.<br/>
<br/>
The reason why tankers can't refuel other ships undereway is a lack of the proper gear to transfer fuel at sea, including the appropriate transfer hoses and pumps. <br/>
<br/>
How do you ...

<t> My replenishment taks forces don't auto-replenish other task forces in the same hex after multiple turns. I've tried this with the replenishment unit both in patrol and retirement allowed modes. The oilers have oil. The refuel switch on the supported task force shows "OK to Refuel". <br/>
