Would early-war oiler shortages restrict British carrier substitutes?

Would short British carrier ranges and the shortage of fast oilers in 1941-42 hamstring Pacific operations?

The answer expects only a limited effect: tankers would support carriers, and endurance differences would narrow at the higher speeds used in operations.

The objection adds the shortage of fast oilers in 1941 and 1942 to the British carriers' shorter range. The answer expects tankers to be assigned to carriers, with capital-ship operations giving way to that priority. Carriers also rarely operate at their most efficient cruising speed. An Implacable is described as capable of crossing the Pacific on one fuel load, while an Essex could nearly make the return trip as well. At higher operating speeds, their endurance becomes more comparable, so the shorter published range would have an effect without overwhelming operations.
