I get that. But that's not how the article is written.

No ship will be producing fuel for itself. It will produce fuel by using its nuclear power plant for aircraft taking off from it or for other ships but not for itself.

As I read it, the rest of the article implies that ships will produce the fuel needed to power themselves. And I'm sorry, that is not going to happen.
