I think they consume supplies. I am fairly sure of it.
They do not, however use any resources after being built. (aside for replacement parts for planes.)

Planes are an supply as in equipment themself and ships actually need to go back for lenghty repairs if they are damaged. I am pretty sure that they suffer attrition just as everything else, only that they get damaged instead of destroyed unless you dont allow them to repair.
Harbours also have, just as airfields and supply zones an capacity they can supply. So technicly naval bases and airfields are an supply zone in themself in hoi IV that can be expanded by expanding the naval base or airfield. You wont be able to put the entire US Navy on an tiny island with an wooden peer and an small dirt strip for your airforce.
That aside planes and most likely ships aswell have reduced efficiency if they are fighting too far away from their base. If you assign them to an airzone that is barely in range they will do horribly untill you redeploy them closer to the front.

Aircrafts and ships now need something called service manpower, like a fighter need 20 manpower to operate and a battleship around 2k manpower.

alright, thanks, found it. I think i missed that during the stream. Dont seem to be able to spot it for ships tho, yet.
For anyone else wondering i include an screenshot below. The Manpower Requirement for Airwings is shown in the bottom right.
Turns out fighters require 20 manpower and bombers require 40 manpower. Atleast for the interwar ones, but i doubt that will increase that much if at all with modern ones.

The manpower requirement is great news, thanks for spotting and sharing Denkt 
. From memory, the land supply stacking limit covered both divisions and air wings (but air wings also needed a suitably sized airbase), while ships had a separate stacking limit based around Port size, but I may have missed some of the changes in recent Wwws.

Ship also use manpower, it is called service manpower then it is used by air and naval forces.
