Avgas flammability and having to maintian two separate fuels systems aboard ship were the major considerations. JP5 was the Navy jet fuel and JP4 was used by the AIr Force. I was told JP5 was better for flammability reasons. About 10 years ago the U.S. military moved to a new jet fuel JP8 --which both the NAvy and Air Force use.
