Keeping Phantoms and Buccaneers supplied on Audacious-class carriers

How did Britain operate Phantoms and Buccaneers from Audacious-class carriers despite limited fuel and magazine capacity?

By relying heavily on supply ships and frequent replenishment.

Phantoms and Buccaneers imposed large fuel and magazine demands on an Audacious-class carrier. Britain did not solve every demand by enlarging the ship's permanent internal capacity. It relied on supply vessels and frequent replenishment to restore aviation stores during operations. The carrier's usable air power therefore depended on the logistics train sailing with the fleet.
