There are no U.S. aircraft carriers deployed anywhere in the world. What happened to "where are the carriers"?

That was something reassuring that was always a given, until now.

Well, USS Reagan is forward deployed 01 Jan 2017 at "Homeport at Yokosuka", on the Global Security page that Fox got their story from. Given the proximity to Korea and the South China Sea and the Philippines, it is pretty darn capable. But...

Stennis is at "Bremerton - Home for the Hollidays[sic]"

Eisenhower just "returned to Naval Station Norfolk" in December from "deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve"

Nimitz ("completed Tailored Ship's Training Availability and Final Evaluation Problem (TSTA/FEP") and

Bush ("completed composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX)") just completed various training exercises and are scheduled to head out this month.

Truman has been in port at Norfolk since July, after Med deployment.

Having three carriers in maintenance right now, plus the new Ford over budget and late (as usual?)shows the squeeze of being one shy of the even dozen, and the consequence.
