What i wanted to know was if anything like this actually happened during WWII, or for that matter possiable?

I doubt that a sub could refuel a plane. If I'm not mistake both use different fuel types and I don't really know were you would store kerosine on a sub.:hmm: |
The 'fuel' could have been stored in barrels and pumped to the planes.
Kind of strange though Cats espically later models had a range of around 3,000 miles. You would think it would be the other way around. The cats fueling the subs.
