The resupply ships were added to the game by coding them in as additional bases of operation - as far as I know this was the only way to add them. So in order to refuel or take on supplies at sea at one of the "milk cows" or other resupply options, you have to follow the same procedure that you would to return to any other base at the end of a mission or patrol: hit Esc and choose Exit Patrol (in the case of a single mission, it might be Abandon Mission or something like that). You would then get a choice between continuing your patrol/mission or returning to the nearest base, in this case the nearby resupply ship.
As Gargamel has already noted, doing so will effectively end either your patrol or your mission as the game considers stopping at a resupply ship the same as returning to base, which to the game means you are done with that patrol or mission.
To be honest I'm not even sure the option to dock at the supply ship would be given when playing a single mission, since if I remember correctly those don't start out with you docked at a home base, but plop you down somewhere in the middle of (or near to) the mission's scripted action. Since you aren't playing a career patrol, leaving base and redocking there or anywhere else don't really figure into the mission overall. The options you get following that procedure on a single mission might just be Continue or Abandon Mission (or Return To Base, with no base specified).
Either way you're not going to be able to refuel on a single mission, as the only way to link up with a resupply ship is to dock there, and that means ending the mission and your gaming session.
