The NAVY is getting somewhere with turning seawater into jet fuel.

What country do you now call home, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm not telling you that, I know you own a Glock! 

This discussion is quickly moving into rule-breaking territory so it needs to end. However I'll be happy to continue via PM if you'd like?

Perhaps when I have more time in the summer. I must prepare for an exhibition now

I used to have one as my service sidearm yes, but no more. And quite frankly it doesn't have the range to be much of a threat unless you're my new neighbour.

Good luck with that! Post pictures!

  The red shield started to exchange paper notes for gold!   The conveniently stored peoples gold,as goldsmiths they had safes,and in exchange for "holding" your gold or silver you got a note that said you had X amount of gold/silver in the....... bank.. sorry I meant safe.....

Also, being able to create jet fuel means less need for current fuel tank storage aboard a cv, which means extra room for other stuff like beer. 

As hybrid cars become more popular and gasoline consumption drops, prices for jet fuel will skyrocket.

Another bad thing about the Navy being dependent on land based fuel reserve tanks is they are an easy target for future Mach 7+ cruise missile systems.

Also, consider survivability. If the stuff can be generated as needed, the storage capacity can be diminished as you note, and replacing a high-energy liquid fuel with something a tad less volatile, even if just empty volume, makes the ship more robust under attack.
