With D day talk and maybe approaching, I all of a sudden was struck with a question. Where’s the fleet? So I did a search of just the aircraft carriers.
I also ran across an article that stated that Russia and China only have 1 carrier. Russia, though has several of those ice breaker ships.
With respect to our awesome carriers:
Only 2 are out there.
CVN-76 Ronald Reagan @ Yokosuka
CVN-74 John C. Stennis @ N. Arabian Sea
Link to see the most recent info I could find regarding the rest most appear to be docked CON.USA:

That’s not a lot of carriers to project power around the world. A little thin it would seem.
