Claim 4:
5. The process as in claim 1, wherein the second naphtha source is one or more of naphtha-range hydrocarbons for reforming, and wherein the hydrocracking of straight run middle distillates occurs in the presence of distillate hydrocracking catalyst selected from catalyst that have one or more active metal component of metals or metal compounds (oxides or sulfides) selected from the Periodic Table of the Elements IUPAC Groups 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 carried on a support comprising acidic inorganic oxide and 0.1-20 wt % (relative to the total catalyst particle mass) of zeolite, and at conditions including a reactor temperature (° C.) in the range of from about 270-420, a hydrogen partial pressure (bar) in the range of from about 40-150, a hydrogen gas feed rate (SLt/Lt) of up to about 300-1000, and a liquid hourly space velocity (h−1), on a fresh feed basis relative to the distillate hydrocracking catalysts, in the range of from about 1-4, the catalyst and conditions being effective to produce a middle distillate hydrocracking reactor liquid effluent comprising at least about 20-90 wt % of naphtha-range hydrocarbons.
