I don't know what's current, but that is what an AOE is for. They ride within the carrier group, and are kept supplied by shuttle ships. Since there are now only two of those currently in service, there aren't nearly enough for all the groups. I then suspect it's mostly shuttle ships now. In theory, the other types can ride in the group, but they would also need shuttle ships, and AOs would only provide fuel, AEs ammo, AFS stores, etc. So more than one logistic ship would need to ride in the group. That's what makes the AOE what it is...gathers everything, then rides in the group and distributes. "One stop shopping."
