In the US navy, the nuclear powered carriers only carry JP4 or JP8 (and all
on-board diesel-powered equipment use the JP), so any smaller ships that refuel
from the carrier (a relatively common practice) get the jet fuel.

?? I thought the Navy forbit anything but JP5 on board. To the extent
a Navy plane refueled at an AF base was not allowed below decks, until
"clean"...

JP4 was kero/gasoline/naptha/tolune or such; nasty low-flash stupf.
JP5's basically Jet-A, I think. And Jet-A is ultra-pure kero.
