Explain to me how the Navy believes that the carrier strike groups will remain viable after the Supply-class is retired. Without fast combat support ships, there is no replenishment vessel in the fleet fast enough to actually keep up with and support a carrier strike group in combat. How are they going to fill this huge capability gap?

Probably the same way they do it at the moment given that there are only three Supply class left and there are ten carrier strike groups.

Every Nimitz they retire is getting retrofitted into a giant supply ship to serve alongside a Ford class. Think of just how many more supplies they can carry with a carrier sized resupply ship.
