Of the U.S. Navy's ten Nimitz class carriers, only two are at sea and both are in the 5th Fleet AOR.
The 7th Fleet AOR carrier CVN-73 Washington has been in port in Yokosuka, Japan since March of 2013 with maintenance problems. Ship still waiting for funding and spare parts.
Three carriers that are suppose to be "surge carriers" are in different stages of predeployment training and attending mandatory sensitivity training courses.
Four carriers are going no where, they are being worked on fixing broken things and when the funds are available, routine prevented maintenance.
Where are the Carriers?
Of the U.S. Navy's five Areas of Responsibility (AOR) only the 5th Fleet has any carriers on station waiting for Obama's orders to support rebel Islamist extremest and Al Qaeda in Syria.
