Would the Soviet carriers refuel their escorts?

Would Graf Zepplinski and her half-sister act as oilers for their escorts, or would the Red Fleet rely on separate logistics ships?

The first two carrier generations are not planned as oilers, although the speakers leave open whether later Soviet doctrine might adopt the practice.

The expanded carrier fleet may need a separate support train if its carriers cannot refuel their escorts. Fleet of Oceans says the first two carrier generations are not designed to do so. Large carriers and battleships historically could take fuel from a fleet oiler and then pass it to smaller ships, so the practice remains plausible for later Red Fleet doctrine. The scenario leaves that logistics choice unresolved.
