"Same report states that if a major crisis erupted in the South China Sea and supplies of fuel into Australia were blocked, our military would grind to a halt in 3 weeks. Aviation fuel would dry up, and so would petrol within that same period."
That report is crap , the counter logical argument is oil and distillates would be re routed either via Cape good hope across to Perth, or via LA or Houston to Sydney via Panama as a stop gap , transport time 2 weeks
Any way unlikely event with a US carrier always near Japan.
