I do this a lot myself on 2-2. Indeed, you don't ever resupply the (initially) level 1 ships.

The problem is eventually you do run out of ships. 2-2's boss node is not very forgiving, and those transport deadends usually come with enemy Ru-class. If you run maps like 5-4 a lot daily you can easily stockpile enough to use this strategy regularly, but attrition rates can vary widely. I think it's definitely something for really dedicated players to do, to get more mileage and more quickly clear the World 2 daily quest.

Submarines are nice because you can keep sending them, generate damaged ships for the daily quest, and they can net gain fuel at 2-3. Overall they're better if you just want to stockpile resources for events/LSC while clearing the shorter daily quests.
