Best Answer

A Nimitz class CVN uses approximately the weight of a paper clip worth of U235 per day at an average underway power. I cannot disclose the weight of U235 upon initial fuel load due to it being classified, but It is not near as much as one would expect for the ship to run for 20-25 yrs.

It varies with the ship class and mission, but typical loadout is several million gallons of JP-5 aviation gasoline. Keep in mind also that carrier aircraft don't necessarily always refuel aboard ship, with current aerial refueling capability, which also stretches the onboard supply.
