1. A process of upgrading a highly aromatic hydrocarbon feedstream comprising:

  • (a) contacting a highly aromatic hydrocarbon feedstream, having a normal paraffin content of greater than at least about 5 wt %, wherein a major portion of the feedstream has a boiling range of from about 300°

    F. to about 800°

    F. and wherein the feedstream has an aromatic content of at least 40 wt %, under catalytic conditions with a catalyst system, containing a hydrotreating catalyst, a hydrogenation/hydrocracking catalyst, and a dewaxing catalyst in a single stage reactor system, wherein the active metals in the hydrogenation/hydrocracking catalyst comprises from about 5%-30% by weight of nickel and from about 5%-30% by weight tungsten; and

    (b) wherein at least a portion of said highly aromatic hydrocarbon feedstream is converted to a product stream having a boiling range within jet or diesel boiling ranges.
