Nope. no resupply ships for the USN at sea. The sub tenders were stationed at places like Guam, Midway, etc. Although if I remember correctly the mileage is completely whacked just like the battery discharge rate. I'm currently reading Submarine! by Capt. Edward L. Beach and it mentions boats running full speed to their patrol zones.
