Or, installing a small nuclear reactor on each ship to generate the energy to make the fuel.

And if they suck all the CO2 out of the ocean it will reverse the anthropogenic global warming and the oceans will freeze solid and we'll all die! (just kidding)

RE: So it is possible for fuel
So- might they go with (new) nuke-powered fuel-making resupply ships, or would this be on stationary installations?

RE: So it is possible for fuel
Since the goal is to make JP-5 jet fuel, and the biggest shipborne consumers of that fuel are aircraft, and (some) carriers are nuke-powered already, why go to the expense of making new ships? Then again, I am assuming our Federal procurement $ will be spent wisely.
RE: So it is possible for fuel
Actually, they ALL are. Any non-nuclear carriers are only floating museums.
However, the issue with using the existing carriers is that there is no infrastructure for doing this task. It would require massive reconstruction, since there is no spare room in any given carrier.

"There is no infrastructure"
Obviously not on existing ships built before the technology was developed. I disagree that it would require "massive" reconstruction, but I'm not a naval architect. It might be simpler to include the new plant only in upcoming hulls. There is always room, if clever engineers are allowed to make it happen.
