Summary	The US Navy uses two kinds of fuel for its maritime operations. One of them is the jet propulsion fuel JP-5, a kerosene-type aviation turbine fuel (also known as F-44) with a high flash point (approximately 140F). The other is diesel-like fuel F-76, also known as diesel fuel marine (DFM), which has the same flash point as the JP-5. Although these fuel types have many similar (but not identical) characteristics, every maritime operation still requires both of them. This study will evaluate the operational efficiencies of adopting JP-5 as the single alternative in the fuel supply chain in a contested environment.
